This study compares the effectiveness and costs of hydrofoil craft with those of conventional Coast Guard platforms, including cutter/helicopter teams, in the performance of the fisheries law enforcement mission. The comparisons are made for various fisheries law enforcement tasks considered independently of one another and of geographic considerations, and also in two specific geographic scenarios, in waters off New England and Alaska, where each platform is required to perform a specific set of tasks. The study also investigates the degree to which hydrofoils, engaged in a primary fisheries law enforcement role, could contribute to the search and rescue (SAR) mission without undue detraction from their primary role.
