Overview
- The missing paddleboarder has been identified as 48-year-old Matt Pawlowski, who was last seen heading east about four miles off Jupiter Beach on a 14-foot lime green and yellow board.
- U.S. Coast Guard air stations and surface units from Miami, Clearwater, Lake Worth Inlet, Fort Pierce and the cutter William Flores are participating in the active search.
- Search teams say they have used last-known-position data and drift-pattern modeling to guide overnight and daytime air and sea coverage and have not reported a recovery.
- Authorities ask anyone with information to contact U.S. Coast Guard Sector Miami at 305-535-4472, and local reports say Pawlowski was wearing a white hat, orange shirt and gray shorts.
- WPBF reported sources identifying Pawlowski as a NextEra Energy vice president, and investigators will continue search operations and public appeals while assessing likely drift routes and sightings.
