US Coast Guard offloads $94.5m in seized narcotics in Florida

According to the coast guard, the operation has so far resulted in the interdiction of more than 80,000 pounds (36,287 kilograms) of cocaine. The service said the operation involves coordination with interagency and international partners, with additional cutters, aircraft, and tactical teams deployed to increase interdiction capability.

“I’m incredibly proud of the teamwork and adaptability displayed by my crew and our partners during this patrol to stop illicit drug flow from entering the United States,” said Captain Lee Jones, commanding officer of Seneca.
