(Contributed Photo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Santa Rita, GU\u2014The U.S. Coast Guard cutter Kiska, home ported in Santa Rita, Guam, recently conducted community outreach in Chuuk State, Federated States of Micronesia following a weeklong search and rescue case. <\/p>\n<p>Coast Guard Sector Guam conducted a rescue case of three fisherman that were located 85 nautical miles from Chuuk earlier last week. The missing vessel was found with high visibility orange paint received from a previous engagement the Coast Guard conducted in FSM. <\/p>\n<p>To ensure continued success of this program, the Kiska conducted another orange boat initiative in Chuuk during their stay, which resulted in 35 vessels receiving high contrast orange interiors. <\/p>\n<p>Since the program&#8217;s first operational roll-out in the summer of 2015, over 400 privately-owned skiffs have orange interior paint schemes, greatly enhancing detectability by search aircraft. <\/p>\n<p>Through the assistance of the U.S. Embassy in FSM, the crew of the Kiska also participated in a local school restoration project, which provided them the opportunity to continue their strong relationship with the island community.
