Marine Rescue NSW crews search for missing male off Moonee Beach

Volunteers from Marine Rescue Coffs Harbour and Woolgoolga are assisting in a search for a missing male on the NSW Mid North Coast.

Marine Rescue NSW Inspector Rodney Page said Marine Rescue NSW volunteers and vessels were tasked by NSW Police Marine Area Command earlier today, Saturday 28 December.

“Marine Rescue NSW vessels Coffs Harbour 30 and Woolgoolga 30 were deployed to assist NSW Water Police with the search.

“The Marine Rescue NSW crews are conducting a parallel search from Moonee Beach to Korffs Islet.

“Conditions were challenging with 15 to 20 knot winds and a 1.5 to 2 metre swell.

“Volunteers on board Woolgoolga 30 will search along the coastline on their return to the Marine Rescue Woolgoolga base later today,” said Inspector Page.
