Coast Guard and Corozal’s Coastal Residents

The Coast Guard was in Sarteneja today to talk about keeping COVID from coming across from Mexico in this northernmost fishing community.

Acting Commandant Gregory Soberanis along with his operational staff met with the leaders in the village to discuss community collaboration to deter the cross border transmission of COVID-19 - aka, border jumpers.

The Coast Guard also met with members of the Sarteneja Alliance for Conservation and Development to enhance the management of the marine resources and environment in the Corozal Bay area.

Soberanis says "Maritime border security is a priority for the Coast Guard as it is an integral component of its national defence mandate."
