RedactedNarrative: On 5/13/2019, at approximately 1906 hours, I, Corporal (CPL) of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division (GADNR LE), received a call from Sergeant reporting a boating incident in Liberty County, Georgia. I responded and arrived at Sunbury Marina at approximately 1937 hours. 
  
  I met with Operator2 and V2 occupant. I interviewed vessel operator and occupant. I responded to private dock where commercial shrimp trawler "Miss Denise" was located. I interviewed operator Operator1 and occupants V2 occupant1 and V2 occupant2. I photographed Operator2's vessel. I collected two sharks from onboard Operator2's vessel. I spoke with United States Coast Guard Marine Safety Unit (USCG MSU) in Savannah regarding the incident. Operator2's vessel was secured to the trawler "Miss Denise" overnight. I returned to Sunbury Marina and met with Operator2 and V2 occupant. I issued resource warning to Operator2 for two sharks found aboard his vessel. I cleared the scene at approximately 2200 hours.  
  
  On 5/14/2019, I followed up with USCG MSU. I spoke with Operator2 and Operator1 regarding the process of the investigation. Operator2 made arrangements to remove his vessel from the water at Sunbury public boat landing. 
  
  On 5/15/2019, USCG MSU conducted an inspection on trawler "Miss Denise". 
  I determined on 5/13/2019 at approximately 1850 hours, commercial shrimping trawler "Miss Denise" was traveling outbound in the Medway River. Operator1 left the wheelhouse of the trawler while the vessel was underway. At approximately 1850 hours Operator2 and V2 occupant were aboard Operator2's vessel at anchor while engaged in recreational fishing activity. Trawler "Miss Denise" collided with Operator2's recreational vessel. Operator2 and V2 occupant jumped from Operator2's vessel into the water. Operator1, V2 occupant1 and V2 occupant2 assisted Operator2 and V2 occupant from the water on board trawler "Miss Denise". Crew aboard "Miss Denise" assisted in towing Operator2's vessel to private dock at Sunbury. At approximately 1937 hours Operator2 and V2 occupant were evaluated by Liberty County Emergency Medical Services, Operator2 reported spinal injuries. 
  
  Upon completion of investigation I have determined Operator1 violated navigational rules by failing to maintain proper lookout while operating commercial shrimping trawler "Miss Denise". Operator1 operated vessel with reckless disregard by leaving the wheelhouse while the vessel was underway.
