In the meantime, the Nova Scotia RCMP and the RCMP Underwater Recovery Team (URT) are currently in the planning stages to partner with the Canadian Coast Guard to provide a platform to assist in recovery efforts which will include sonar exploration.
“RCMP will share an expected date for this activity once known,” police said in a statement.
The Nova Scotia RCMP will be providing the public with updates and information on the search for the missing fishermen.
The 15-metre vessel foundered northeast of Digby on Dec. 15 amid three-metre waves pushed by 40 km/h gusts and an unusually high tide.
