The exercise was conducted to promote a coordinated system of response between Mexico and the United States in the event of a marine pollution event that crosses the Mexico/U.S. border.
During the exercise, Rear Adm. Paul Thomas, commander of the Eighth Coast Guard District, and Vice Adm. Froylan Jimenez Colorado, commander of Secretaria de Marina Zone 1, signed the MEXUSGULF Annex.
The MEXUSGULF Annex is a joint contingency plan between the Secretaria de Marina and U.S. Coast Guard regarding pollution of the marine environment by discharge of hydrocarbons or other hazardous materials.
