  WHERE:Jupiter Inlet / Intercoastal Waterway 
  	On September 9, 2021 at approx 2010 hrs, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission was on marked vehicle patrol in Palm Beach County, FL.
  	 A call came out through our dispatch center advising a vessel was taking on water and beginning to sink in the Jupiter Inlet and was drifting towards U.S. 1. It was unknown how many persons were on board, in the water, or if there were any injuries. I responded by land as Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission responded by water from the Jupiter Field Office. I arrived at UTIKI in Jupiter FL where the owner/operator of the vessel was located. Upon my arrival at the scene, FWC and Seatow were on scene, securing the sinking vessel and beginning the investigation.                                                            
  	OP1 the owner/operator, was the sole occupant of the vessel. He was uninjured and explained the situation and the reason for the vessel sinking. OP1 advised he forgot to put the plug in the vessel and began to take on water. He was able to make it back into the inlet when the vessel began to sink. 
  	I took the information for him and for the vessel while Seatow spent the next two hours recovering the vessel. I photographed the vessel and gathered final information on the boating accident and advised OP1 how the process worked. OP1 trailered the vessel and left the scene without further incident.
