The search efforts for a paraglider believed to have gone missing south of Furnas Beach in Vila do Bispo were suspended early in the evening on Sunday.
The individual has not yet been found, according to a statement from the National Maritime Authority (AMN).
The operations are scheduled to resume on Monday morning.
The alert was raised at approximately 5:20 PM when a bystander in the area informed emergency services of “paragliding equipment in the water.”
“Members of the Sagres Lifesaving Station arrived at the scene, located, and retrieved the equipment, and search efforts commenced immediately,” stated the AMN.
The operations, led by the captain of the Port and the local commander of the Lagos Maritime Police, involved crew members from the Sagres Lifesaving Station, officials from the Lagos Maritime Police Command, and firefighters from the Vila do Bispo Volunteer Fire Department.
Additionally, two drones from the Algarve Regional Emergency and Civil Protection Command (CREPCA) were deployed.
