The U.S. Coast Guard said it and its partner agencies recovered 1,300 pounds of marijuana wrapped in plastic from the water near Santa Catalina Island, one of California's channel islands southwest of Los Angeles, this week.
The 43 bales were transferred to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which estimated the value at $1 million.
