The cutter Anacapa, a 110-foot island class patrol boat, docks at the port of Petersburg, Alaska. With a coastline larger than that of the Lower 48, Alaska is a state where the Coast Guard is of crucial importance. Key missions there include search and rescue, fisheries law enforcement, environmental protection and homeland security.
