view, neither scenario falls within a provision that deems a vessel stateless based on a specific interaction that occurs “aboard” that vessel. Abiding by the plain language of the statute need not frustrate Congress’s objective to prosecute maritime drug trafficking nor undermine law enforcement ef forts. In this case, for example, the Coast Guard could likely have brought the defendants within the scope of the MDLEA by obtaining the consent of the Dominican Republic, the yola’s apparent country of nationality. See 46 U.S.C. § 70502(c)(1)(C). Alternatively, the government could have alleged that the yola was either a Dominican vessel or a stateless vessel and further investigated its nationality after the defendants’ arrest. Cf. United States v. Greer, 285 F.3d 158, 175 (2d Cir.2002) (<HOLDING>); United States v. Bustos-Useche, 273 F.3d 622,
