A multi-agency search, which started on Tuesday, January 14, is for a missing boater, a man believed to be in his 20s.

About 7.30pm yesterday, officers from Murray River Police District and officers from Victoria Police responded to reports of a man who had fallen from a boat and did not resurface near Five Mile boat ramp at Moama.

Police and other agencies, including volunteers from Marine Rescue Moama spent one hour and 45 minutes searching a section of the Murray River for the man on Tuesday.

Marine Rescue NSW Inspector Stuart Massey said the service was alerted just after 7.30pm that a man from a boat was last seen on the Murray River near Five Mile boat ramp at Moama.
