		Iceland's own defense of its territorial waters began around 1920 and the Icelandic Coast Guard was formally founded on July 1, 1926.
		The Icelandic Coast Guard played its largest role during the Cod Wars between 1972 and 1975, when the Coast Guard ships would cut the trawl wires of British and West German trawlers, while being rammed by the Royal Navy, in order to protect sealife from overfishing.
		The Icelandic Coast Guard's primary mission is the defending the sovereignty of Icelandic territorial waters, as well as keeping Icelandic law in the 200nm wide Economic zone.

		Among the responsibilities that may be entrusted to a coast guard service are enforcement of maritime law, maintenance of seamarks, border control, and other services.
		In wartime the Coast Guard may, at the direction of the president, report to the Secretary of the Navy but does not become part of the United States Navy; however, its boats and cutters are integrated into U.S. military operations (see &).
		The Marine Police was thus restructured and renamed as the Police Coast Guard, one of the few law enforcement organisations in the world to combine water policing and coast guard duties while remaining as a policing unit.

		To counter unquestionable overfishing, Iceland extended its fishing zone to four nautical miles from a base line drawn across the outermost points of promontories and islands, thereby protecting large bays from this threat.
		The Icelandic Coast Guard was put to the test extensively during these successive extensions of the fishing limit.
		Even though they were fishing under military protection and the Icelandic Coast Guard vessels were unable to arrest offenders, the foreign trawler skippers were in fact soon forced to give up after repeatedly losing their gear.

	Sea ice incidents
		Icelandic waters are defined as the economic zone around Iceland, extending outwards to a 200-nautical miles distance from the coast or to the midline between Iceland and Greenland in the Denmark Strait.
		Annual extension of sea ice in the vicinity of Iceland fluctuates between open sea across the Denmark Strait in late summer to sea ice in the Strait in late winter covering the ocean at the coast of East Greenland halfway towards Iceland.
		However, changes of sea ice distribution in Icelandic waters on smaller time scales, down to a few days, and even from one hour to another, are important as sea ice affects human activities on fishery grounds, sailing routes and in the most serious scenarios can threaten access to harbours in northern Iceland.
