NBC News reports on Coast Guard efforts to counter Illegal, Unregulated, Unreported fishing off Peru. The report is not really very clear in that it states the Chinese vessels are outside Peru’s territorial waters but is not clear if they are saying they are outside the 12 mile limit or they are outside the EEZ. The way it was phrased it sounded like they were referring to the 12 mile limit, but the distinction is frequently poorly understood by the media.

The Coast Guard Cutter Alder approaches a squid fishing vessel while CG-2007, a C-130 from Air Station Barbers Point in Hawaii, flies over (upper left) during Operation Southern Shield 2023, October 2023. The Coast Guard recently completed the first high-seas boardings and inspections off the coast of Peru under a newly adopted multi-lateral agreement to monitor fishing
and transshipment operations within the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organization (SPRFMO)Convention Area. (U.S. Coast Guard photo)
It is clear that USCGC Alder is off Peru. This is the second time the Pacific Area has used this buoy tender to conduct a distant fisheries patrol, having completed a previous similar patrol 29 November 2023. During the earlier patrol, enforcement was under the auspices of the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organization (SPRFMO). That is probably the case here as well.
Thanks to Paul for bringing this to my attention.

Over fishing and fishing in closed areas has been a problem since at least 1970. And we can also look back to the 1800’s and the decimating of whales by over fishing, And take a look at the North Atlantic.
Been a contentious issue even in a well regulated fishery.
Humans have a long proud history of trashing natural resources.
Any enforcement is welcome, using a Buoy tender seems odd to me, but any ship works I guess, hats off to the Coast Guard for more enforcement!!!!
I am sure they would rather have had an WMEC or NSC but probably none available for this. PAC Area is using FRCs and WLBs in innovative ways. Paired up they make one pretty good WHEC with only half the people (and no helicopter).
Salute to us coast guard for preventing the problem now in the philippines were getting fewer fish because of this chinese ecosystem destroyer and enviromental destroyer , and the price of the fish went soaring high
