A USCGC Kukui (WLB 203) boarding team, with a shiprider from the Republic of the Marshall Islands, prepares to depart the ship and board a small boat for a transit to the fishing vessel Lomato in the Pacific Ocean Aug. 29, 2015. The crew spent a 35 days on patrol of the Western and Central Pacific to deter illegal fishing of highly migratory fish stocks such as tuna and build relationships with Pacific partners.
