  The United States Customs and Border Patrol has six Florida stations located in and administered by the Miami Sector. These stations are responsible for the entire state of Florida, parts of southern states just north of Florida as well as U.S. waters off the eastern, western and southern coasts. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol activities began early in the Sunshine State due to its proximity to Cuba and the many Caribbean islands.
