In this Feb. 23, 2017 photo, the crew from the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Stratton gather bales of cocaine that were seized from a small fishing boat. Four men were arrested caught smuggling some 700 kilos in the Pacific Ocean, hundreds of miles south of the Guatemala-El Salvador border. The Coast Guard set a record in 2016, seizing more than 240 tons of cocaine, however, that same year, the amount of land devoted to coca cultivation in Colombia climbed 18 percent. That is more coca production than at any time since the U.S. in 1999 began investing billions in an anti-narcotics strategy known as Plan Colombia. (AP Photo/Dario Lopez-Mills)
