Select Corridor
Eastern Pacific — Narco-Submarine Corridor

The Eastern Pacific corridor between Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico is the primary maritime route for semi-submersible and fully submersible narco-submarines carrying cocaine northward. An estimated 90% of cocaine entering the United States by sea transits this corridor. Coast Guard, DEA, and Navy assets conduct counter-narcotics patrols across this vast area of open ocean.
