A quick definition of Coast Guard jurisdiction:

Coast Guard Jurisdiction: The Coast Guard is a branch of the military that enforces laws and regulations on the waters that belong to the United States. They have the power to stop, search, and take things, as well as arrest people. They also help with rescues and do research on the ocean. The Coast Guard was created in 1915 and is now part of the Department of Homeland Security.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Coast Guard jurisdiction refers to the authority of the United States Coast Guard to enforce federal laws on the high seas and navigable waters under U.S. jurisdiction. This includes the power to stop, search, and seize property, as well as arrest individuals.

Example: The Coast Guard has the authority to stop and search a cargo ship suspected of carrying illegal drugs in international waters. If they find evidence of illegal activity, they can seize the drugs and arrest the crew.

Explanation: This example illustrates how the Coast Guard's jurisdiction extends beyond U.S. territorial waters and into international waters. They have the authority to enforce federal laws and combat illegal activity, even if it occurs outside of U.S. borders.
