The Coast Guard's Press Release

The Coast Guard medevaced a 30-year-old man Thursday from the vessel Astraea SB approximately nine miles south of Dauphin Island, Alabama.


Coast Guard Sector Mobile watchstanders received a report from the ship of a man experiencing symptoms of labored breathing and high blood pressure.


Watchstanders coordinated the launch of a Coast Guard Station Dauphin Island 45-foot response boat-medium boatcrew. The boatcrew arrived on scene but due to safety concerns, was unable to conduct the transfer.
