A plane stationed at Cape Cod that is used for search and rescue missions. as well as for spotting ollspills. will be decommissioned. Security and boating safety offices in nearby Massachusetts and Connecticut will be closed. Two cutters stationed in New England are being decommissionedthis in addition to the fact that another New England cutter is being used off the Florida coast in search of refugees. The $46.3 million provided in this legislation will not overcome all of the funding problems hampering the Coast Guard. It will. however. help tide them over this difficult time and help keep many important services such as these from being curtailed.
