The USCGC Edgar Culbertson has made the news again! One of our many missions include the deterrence and interdiction of illegal fishermen near the US-Mexico maritime boundary line. With the assistance of Air station Corpus Christi and Station South Padre Island, we were able to combine forces and endure a 6-hour operation, successfully stopping 5 vessels. Bravo Zulu!

The Coast Guard arrested 23 Mexican fishermen after intercepting five boats and seizing 900 pounds of red snapper and shark.

🚨 Successful Rescue Alert 🚨

We are thrilled to share a heartwarming update on our recent search and rescue operation:

On July 24th, our team received an urgent call about two divers who had become stranded at sea off the coast of South Texas. With determination and teamwork, our dedicated crew joined a 36-hour search and rescue operation working with Sector Corpus Christi, Air Station Corpus Christi’s HC-144 Ocean Sentry and MH-65 Dolphin aircrews, Air Station Houston MH-65 Dolphin helicopter aircrews, and Station Port O’Connor 45-foot Response Boat-Medium boat crew. Together, we scoured over 1,600 square miles of open ocean. 🌊🚁

On July 25th, just before midnight, our cutter was alerted to a faint flashing light. Acting swiftly, we navigated to the location and successfully executed a small boat recovery. Within minutes, we were able to rescue the Makers who had been drifting for nearly 40 hours. It was a true pleasure to have them aboard, and we welcome them back anytime! 🙌🛥️
