The U.S. Coast Guard has announced the suspension of a search for a missing fisherman in Delaware. The search began after a distress call was received on Sunday afternoon, reporting that a fishing vessel was taking on water near Cape Henlopen. The fisherman’s boat was later found capsized with no sign of the missing individual.
Despite efforts by multiple agencies and aircrafts, the search was halted on Monday due to hazardous weather conditions and no new leads. The Coast Guard expressed their condolences to the family and friends of the missing fisherman and stated that their thoughts are with them during this difficult time.
This incident serves as a reminder of the dangers that fishermen face while out at sea, especially in unpredictable weather conditions. The Coast Guard urges all mariners to take necessary precautions and stay vigilant while on the water.
Local authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the capsized boat and disappearance of the fisherman. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Coast Guard or local law enforcement.
For now, the search for the missing fisherman has been suspended until further notice. The Coast Guard will reassess the situation in the coming days and decide on any further search efforts.
This tragic event highlights the risks and challenges that come with ocean activities, and serves as a reminder of the bravery and dedication of the U.S. Coast Guard in their efforts to keep mariners safe at sea.
