A large-scale search is underway near the LNG site in the Port of Brownsville after a boat captain went missing in the water. The U.S. Coast Guard and the Brownsville Fire Department are leading the rescue efforts, working through difficult conditions in hopes of locating the missing man.

The missing individual has been identified as Eduardo Perez, the captain of the vessel involved in the incident. He was last seen wearing black shorts and a blue shirt.

Rescue crews have been scouring the area both on the surface and below, diving to depths of over 40 feet despite poor visibility and numerous underwater obstacles. The Brownsville Fire Department has deployed its dive team and swift water rescue team to assist, while the Coast Guard is using both boats and helicopters to expand the search.

Officials say the conditions are challenging but remain committed to continuing the operation until Perez is found.
