Mérida, Yuc. — The State Government, through the Secretariat of Public Security (SSP), is maintaining an active search operation at sea to locate fisherman Pedro Manuel Morales. He set out aboard a white "alijo"-type boat named "Bodoque" and has not returned since Monday.
According to a press release, contact with the vessel was lost on Monday, November 17, at approximately 4:00 p.m. off the coast of Chuburná Puerto.

Simultaneously, SSP speedboats joined the operation, which is being carried out in coordination with the Secretariat of the Navy (Semar) and local authorities.
