https://nmlea.org The National Maritime Law Enforcement Academy provides education and training for law enforcement personnel as well as for the critical infrastructure industries located on or near the maritime environment.
(1)
Besides improved tactical operations within an agency, this education also covers coordination among applicable agencies at times of catastrophic events exercising the National Incident Management System (NIMS). The objective of the Academy is to provide law enforcement agencies the best possible maritime training this country has to offer. Our training units are mobile and we bring our training to your agencies. By coming to you, we save both your agency and the taxpayers significant money. As a non-profit organization, we are politically neutral and assess the officers, agents, and agencies in a fair and impartial manner. Many classes presented around the country teach tactics and skills oriented to equipment which officers or agents may never use or have available within their agencies. Our programs are different as they are uniquely designed to use each agency's specific assets in order to increase the officers’ awareness in the capabilities of those assets, and how best to use them to the officers’ and the agency's advantage. The key to raising the level of professionalism, proficiency, and officer safety and survival is to customize the training to utilize the actual assets and equipment used by those officers in the field. This is our method and we do it well.

Texas Game Wardens
On Feb 10th, Texas Game Wardens, assigned to the Marine Tactical Operations Group (MTOG), responded to reports of three illegal vessels commercially fishing for snapper. The team responded out of South Padre Island and was able to interdict one of the vessels 51 miles north of the maritime boundary line and 22 miles offshore while US Coast Guard Sector Corpus Christi interdicted the other two.
Edited for clarification of jurisdiction:
The interdiction occurred within the boundaries of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) under US federal authority - 5 fishermen and 1000lbs of snapper were turned over to US Coast Guard for prosecution.

#KICKPLASTIC Wollaston Lake Lodge
“We went through 30,000 water bottles in 3 months. It was mind-boggling. We got tired of finding plastic caps and plastic water bottles. Even though we patrolled it, they were everywhere. And then I started learning about the small particulates that still are in the water that really never go away. That for me was the ‘a-ha’ moment. What are we doing to this fishery, and what are we doing to the people downstream? Our water is the biggest lake in the world to flow into two different oceans. If the oceans are having problems, why wouldn’t we help do something?”

BVI Law Enforcement Agencies To Receive Marine Training | Government of the Virgin Islands
The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force and the marine section of the Joint Task Force are set to benefit from expertise from United Kingdom (UK) Marine Police to bolster ongoing work by the Government of the Virgin Islands to secure the Territory’s borders.
Alaska State Troopers
Alaska Wildlife Trooper Lemay, took this photo while on patrol in Coldfoot this past weekend. In winter, Coldfoot AWT patrols keep an eye on trapping and caribou hunting. It's common to see troopers out and about in trucks, on snowmachines, and in aircraft enforcing the hunting and fishing regulations as well as responding to highway collisions along the Dalton Highway. Besides enforcement and search and rescue, the Coldfoot trooper participates in educational outreach to villages in the interior and the North Slope. Troopers spend a considerable amount of time outdoors, and this time of year that can mean temperatures hovering around -20 degrees Fahrenheit and it can even get as cold as -50 below during winter in the interior.

U.S. Coast Guard Reserve
We’re excited to announce the stand-up of the first Port Security Unit (PSU) Reserve Maintenance Augmentation Team (RMAT) in St. Petersburg, FL. The PSU-RMAT is a pilot program for Reserve MKs and ETs assigned to Bases to provide maintenance on PSU boats and expeditionary equipment.
This initiative will increase maintenance currency and asset availability while increasing training opportunities for MK and ET personnel outside of the PSUs to support career diversity within a single geographic area. If successful, additional PSU-RMATs will be established in the coming years as we work to restore the Selected Reserve to its authorized strength of 7,000. This effort is currently underway so stay tuned for more details and information on how the program is going! #USCGR #USCG #Reserve #RMATs

What makes lionfish so invasive?
Since their release into Florida waters in the 1980s, lionfish have invaded most of the Atlantic coast, the Gulf of Mexico, and throughout the Caribbean. And without any natural predators, their populations have grown exponentially. They prey upon juvenile fishes and invertebrates up to half their size! They have the ability to reproduce every 4 days and can lay up to 30,000 eggs. And don’t even get us started on those 18 venomous spines! Want to know how you can help? If you ever see #lionfish on a menu at a restaurant, give it a try and spread the word! Find more ways to help: www.MyFWC.com/Lionfish

Massachusetts Environmental Police
On Sunday, October 4, 2020, the Massachusetts Environmental Police Patrol Boat Thomas Paine was underway in the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. At approximately 10:30 a.m., Officers heard a radio call to United States Coast Guard Sector Boston from a fishing vessel regarding a crew member who was possibly having a heart attack.
Crew aboard the Thomas Paine were able to respond to the vessel, which was approximately 25 nautical miles off Boston, within 15 minutes. Upon arrival, an MEP Sergeant who is a trained paramedic was transferred to the fishing vessel to conduct a medical assessment of the patient. The Sergeant determined the individual required a medical evacuation; the patient was subsequently transferred onboard the Thomas Paine for a medevac to Gloucester. While en route, U.S. Coast Guard Station Gloucester met the Thomas Paine to transfer aboard two members from Gloucester EMS. Upon arrival at the Gloucester Harbormaster dock, the patient was transferred to an awaiting ambulance for transport to the hospital.
*Update from vessel owner/operator: "Thanks so much for being there. Your response was fast and professional. My crew member is doing well. The Thomas Paine is an impressive resource for the state to have available. I couldn’t be more grateful to you guys.
