Storis Leaves On Bering Sea Patrol
The United States Coast Guard
Cutter STORIS departed today
from the U. S. Naval Station here
for the Bering Sea area to engage
in nine weeks of law enforcement
duties in connection with various
international sealing and fishing
treaties among the United States,
Canada, Japan, and Russia.
The STORIS, an auxiliary ice
breaker under the command of
Commander O. L. DAWSON, U. S.
Coast Guard will patrol the Alas
kan Peninsula, Aleutian Islands,
Bristol and Kuskokvin Bays, and
that portion of the Bering Sea east
of 175 degrees West longitude and
South of St. Matthew Island.
Personnel of the U. S. Fish and
Wildlife Service will assist Coast
Guard personnel in identifying the
protected salmon, halibut, fur
seals, and sea otters. Various sta
tistics for conservation purposes
will also be obtained and will in
clude the location, number, and
species of animals sighted.
The Coast Guard, representing
the United States Government, has
traditionally conducted an annual
cruise in the Bering Sea and Arctic
Ocean since 1867. Although the
original purpose of the cruise was
to enforce the law protecting seals
and other fur-bearing animals and
to administer justice to otherwise
isolated segments of the native
populations of these remote areas,
this does not exist in the same
degree today. However, other sta
tutory obligations of the Coast
Guard have evolved to assume
greater importance. The Coast
Guard is charged with the respon
sibility to enforce or assist in the
enforcement of the conventions for
the protection of salmon, halibut,
fur seal, sea otter, whales, walrus,
and other game. In addition the
Coast Guard is that agency which
enforces the Motorboat Act of 1940,
as amended, and the Federal Boat
ing Act of 1958.
For rest and relaxation during
the patrol, the thirteen officers
and one-hundred enlisted men have
been given the privilege of hunt
ing reindeer on St. Matthew Is
land, a venture which will help
