Crews have continued the search for the remaining missing fisherman off the coast of Northland’s Pataua South, near Whangārei.
The man is one of two who were reported missing after their boat failed to return on time on Friday night.
The boat was found adrift on Saturday morning with no one aboard, followed soon after by the body of one of the men.
Police, including the national dive squad, and search and rescue crews have been joined by the Royal New Zealand Navy in the search today.
Detective Sergeant Paul Overton said the focus was on bringing the missing man home to his whānau.
“I would also like to like extend my thanks to all the other agencies involved in the search, as well as those members of the public who have been nothing short of generous with their time and support,” Overton said.
Police have asked the public to contact them on 111 if anything unusual is seen in the water.
