Summary
A crew member aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Richard Etheridge, a 154-foot Sentinel-class fast response cutter home-ported at Sector Miami, offloads approximately 1,500 pounds of cocaine, worth an estimated wholesale value of $23 million, in St. Petersburg, Fla., Monday, March 17, 2014. This interdiction was carried out as part of Operation Martillo, which is one component in the United States government's whole-of-government approach to countering the use of the Central American littorals as transshipment routes for illicit drugs, weapons, and cash.
