In conjunction with the Australian Defence Force, Customs and Border Protection facilitates Australia’s response to the detection and rescue of Suspected Irregular Entry Vessels that smuggle people from South-East Asia into Australian waters. The agency is also responsible for the discovery and apprehension of Illegal Foreign Fishing Vessels, the patrol of remote Australian and international waters, and aerial surveillance of Australia’s coastline.

Famous quotes containing the words border and/or protection:
“For my part, I feel that with regard to Nature I live a sort of border life, on the confines of a world into which I make occasional and transient forays only, and my patriotism and allegiance to the state into whose territories I seem to retreat are those of a moss-trooper.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We’re for statehood. We want statehood because statehood means the protection of our farms and our fences; and it means schools for our children; and it means progress for the future.”
