Four Marine Rescue NSW vessels tasked to assist search for missing fisherman

Marine Rescue NSW is deploying four vessels from four units this morning to assist in the multi-agency search for a missing 56-year-old fisherman on the South Coast.

Marine Rescue NSW Inspector Stuart Massey said all crews would resume the search at 8:30am.

“Marine Rescue NSW volunteers and vessels will focus on two search areas under the direction of Marine Area Command.

“Batemans Bay 21 will search alongside a NSW Water Police vessel off Batemans Bay, while Narooma 30, Bermagui 30 and Merimbula 31 will search further south.

“All four Marine Rescue NSW vessels will continue searching today until instructed otherwise by Marine Area Command,” Inspector Massey said.
