RedactedNarrative: On January 5th, 2019, I, Officer, a sworn state law enforcement officer of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Division of Law Enforcement (FWC), was on duty and in uniform conducting patrol in Monroe County, State of Florida.
  
  	At approximately 2015 hours, I received a call from FWC dispatching regarding a boating accident at Faro Blanco, in the city of Marathon. According to dispatch, the vessel was grounded on rocks outside of Faro Blanco and there were no injuries.
  
  	At approximately 2045 hours, I arrived at Faro Blanco Marina and Resort. I observed two male subjects standing with two U.S. Coast Guard personnel on the docks. I asked the subjects if they were involved in a boating accident, to which they stated yes.
  	
  	Operator Stated that at approximately 1830 hours, he was operating his vessel into Faro Blanco and he ran into the rocks at the entrance. Operator stated that he was not aware of the rock jetty and it was not displayed on his navigation system. Operator stated that he was idling into the marina when the accident occurred. Operator is unsure if his vessel was damaged. Operator stated that he was assisted to land by a concerned citizen.

  	At approximately 2115 hours, I boarded Operator’s vessel. I observed Operator’s vessel afloat but grounded on rocks near the stern. I observed no visible damage anywhere on the vessel. A records check of the vessel’s U.S. Coast Guard Certificate of Documentation (DO 1256761) revealed that Operator was the registered owner. We assisted Operator with removing some of his personal belongings off the vessel and back to land. Operator stated that Tow Boat would assist with the removal of his vessel on the following day (January 6th).
