RedactedNarrative: On 05/20/2022 Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission responded to a call for a sinking vessel in the area of Indigo Reef Club in Marathon, Florida.  
  	At the time I arrived on scene, the vessel was resting in on the bottom and looked to be about 50% submerged. MCSO already cleared the vessel of anyone on board. The vessel was approximately 100 yards from shore in about 3 feet of water. 
  	MCSO received reports that there were two people on board at the time of the sinking and they waded to shore and never contacted authorities to report the incident. 
  	Due to severe weather I had to return the following day to finish my investigation.
  	On 05/21/2022 I arrived back on scene, photographed the vessel and documented the position. No signs of collision or damage were present. 
  	Throgh a records check I identified the registered owner. She stated she sold the vessel prior to the incident. Subject could not provide a bill of sale. I mailed Subject the Notification of Rights packet for the vessel being left on the waters of the state in derelict condition. 
  	On 05/22/2022 I received sworn written statement from witness. The statement aligned with the information I received from MCSO. Witness stated that the vessel appeared to be sinking and that he saw two unidentified individuals swim to shore. 
  On 06/08/2022, Subject had the vessel removed from the water.
