“ There are members of the Belize Coast Guard forward deployed, forward deployed as far north as Concejo. Ensuring that our economy is protected through counter contraband efforts as far south as Haunted Key. Ensuring territorial integrity and ensuring sovereignty of rescue spaces. Somewhere along the atolls where the Belize Coast Guard forward operating base would be providing a search and rescue unit to ensure that. Mariners are safe throughout this Christmas season. Uh, we continue operations in Crooked tree, providing that transportation for those involved up there. So, throughout the Christmas season, members of the British Coast Guard are forward deployed, um, and performing the best that they can in support of their national mission.”
