Hello all

Does the navy and customs work together on the BC coast?
With so many boats in general coming in and out of Vancouver and Victoria from the US and other countries this must be a full time job.

Yes.  The maritime security operations center in HMC Dockyard keeps track of 700 +/- ships in Coastal and Offshore waters 24/7. Information is shared between all government departments with law enforcement authority.
