The Secretary of the Navy of Mexico pledged to expand the time of the search for the Isla Mujeres fishermen who have been missing since Thursday, March 31, for as long as necessary. Guillermo Morales Lopez, coordinator for Civil Protection of the Northern Zone of the State, announced this, saying on Thursday, like every day, there was a meeting with the Secretary of the Navy to discuss the progress on the search for the fishermen. He said that on Wednesday, the Naval authorities agreed to extend the search for 96 more hours, and that on Thursday they indicated they will continue the efforts as long as necessary.
He said they continue diversifying aspects of the efforts with establishing relationships with people of all the Caribbean countries, Florida, Cuba, Cayman Islands, and Jamaica for all boats and planes to watch for a possible sighting of the Isla Mujeres fishermen and to provide information.
He explained that it is a positive incentive that so far no signs of a shipwreck have been found such as floating items, fuel stains, coolers, life jackets, etc, which may indicate that the boat is still afloat, and therefore the search continues, until available resources/possibilities (recursos) are exhausted.
He said that via the efforts of Mayor Agapito Magana Sanchez, a meeting was held between the wives of the lost fishermen and the commander of the Fifth Naval Region, in the presence of the City Secretary General, Jose Castillo Magana, to share the information directly with the Secretaría de Marina-Armada de México, via the Fifth Naval Region, regarding the efforts concerning the missing fishermen.
He said there is nothing more that can be done except to keep looking.
Today on Facebook, information indicates that 5000 signatures (by Mexican nationals) are needed to have the Navy continue the search.

After he was missing for two days, Lawrence Gluck, 81, from the United States, was found in Cancun and is back in Isla Mujeres in the company of his family. A taxi driver took him to the Ultramar terminal in Puerto Juarez, at no cost, and an employee of that company notified islanders via Facebook, so that they could come for the foreigner. Mr. Gluck had left his room on Tuesday around 4pm to go shopping and had not had not returned, and information was published with a photo and a description of his clothing. He suffers from Alzheimer's.
Municipal police reported that he had taken a ferry to the Cancun Hotel Zone, been arrested by the Cancun police for urinating in public, taken to their offices in the Hotel Zone and released when they realized he had reduced mental abilities. Then his whereabouts had been unknown and it was presumed he was wandering around in the City of Cancun.
