Search continues for missing Durban sardine netter

A sardine netter is missing after he was reportedly washed away at sea while trying to catch fish at North Beach, Durban. Sea rescue officials and police have been searching for the man since Tuesday morning.

“Currently rescuers have several boats in the water for a man who got washed out to sea while participating in a sardine netting operation. Rescuers are still conducting the exercise and rescue operations are still ongoing at this stage,” said Robert McKenzie, spokesperson for KwaZulu-Natal Emergency Services on Tuesday morning.

Every year, during the winter months of June and July, shoals of sardines swim upstream to the east coast to take advantage of the cooler winds. In recent weeks netters have caught thousands of fish on Durban beaches.

After noon McKenzie confirmed the search had been scaled down, and was now ‘being regarded as a recovery search.’
