POOLE HARBOUR SEARCH TERMINATED

The search for a missing man in Poole Harbour has been called off.  Two people were rescued from the water by coastguard rescue helicopter. 
Portland Coastguard coordinated an intensive air and sea search of the harbour over a three hour period but the man was not found.  A marker bouy placed in the location of the capsized boat indicated that a casualty on the surface of the water would have remained within the harbour area in the tidal and weather conditions during the search. 
The search involved two coastguard rescue helicopters, RNLI lifeboats from Poole and Swanage, Coastguard Rescue Teams from Swanage and Poole as well as local vessels and other members of the emergency services and the community.
