A rescue effort is under way to retrieve a jetskier stranded on a sandbar near Ōmokoroa this afternoon.
A Tauranga Coastguard spokeswoman understood the jetskier had launched from
Ōmokoroa.
It appeared he had run into the sandbar in an estuary and become stuck.
He was able to stand on the sandbar but the jetski was sinking. He called a friend who called the police for help.
She said the Coastguard had put out an all-stations call to anyone in the area to help the man.
