With two embarked FSM shipriders, Sequoia's crew conducted 10 FSM EEZ fisheries boardings during the patrol, including two massive trans-shipment fish carriers and eight long line fishing vessels. All boardings were conducted under the FSM-U.S. Bilateral Agreement. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Ensign Peter Driscoll/Released)
