“Air force” to protect the seas and the exclusive economic zone

A special program, in collaboration between the Coast Guard and the Fisheries Ministry, should be carried out to protect our seas. We could also introduce some “Air force” component to MNDF or under the “Coast Guard”, which will have at least a few helicopters and some light aircraft that could patrol our exclusive economic zone. Such an “Air force” could be vital in blocking the entry points for drug traffickers and smugglers as well.
