Guam - The Guam Fire Department intends to terminate search efforts for the last fishermen reported missing from the waters in Ipan, Talofofo. GFD Spokesperson Joey San Nicolas says the search will be called off at 6pm tonight. He says the Henry Lowary will be considered lost at sea.

Last week, search and rescue officials pulled the lifeless body of Paul Monkeyan, who had gone spearfishing with Lowary and another man, from the waters off Ipan.  The third man was able to return to shore.

San Nicolas says the Kosraen Consulate has expressed appreciation to GFD for their search efforts.
