| Event narrativeevent_narrative | A 37-year-old man died on the reef just off of Ipan Talofofo, Guam.||Guam Fire Department responded to a beach along the east side of Guam after 23:40 on the night of the 30th. At that time fire department personnel pulled a distressed fisherman to safety. ||The fisherman told the firefighters that he and a few other people were walking the reef, searching for lobsters. Since the other men could not be seen, searchers combed the Calvo Beach area near Ipan, Talofofo.||Sea heights just off-shore were between 8 and 9 feet as recorded by the Ipan wave rider buoy. The tide was also decreasing during the evening which may have helped enhance already strong currents. ||At around 10:00 am on the 31st, a U. S. Coast Guard boat recovered the body of the 37-year-old man outside the reef in front of the Calvo Beach in Ipan, Talofofo Guam. |
