HONOLULU, Hawaii - Canada’s Air Force committed a CP-140 Aurora fixed-wing aircraft to provide maritime domain awareness for Coast Guard Cutter Mellon (WHEC 717) boarding teams over two weeks, as well as delivering fishery enforcement operations for several regional Pacific Island countries in early 2019. Throughout the patrol, fishery officers were part of seven reconnaissance flights by the Aurora, to provide a visible surveillance presence and to help enforce Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission conservation measures. The Aurora detected and documented 101 fishing vessels during the mission, providing critical data to the U.S. Coast Guard patrol and the Forum Fisheries Agency, which coordinates enforcement amongst the island nations.
