Watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector San Diego Joint Harbor Operations Center received notification from the vessek at approximately 9:47 a.m., reporting that a passenger was having a seizure and was drifting in and out of consciousness. Sector San Diego assumed SAR mission coordinator responsibilities, initiated the medevac protocol, and consulted with the duty flight surgeon.
