A 34-year-old man has drowned at Jervis Bay, along the New South Wales South Coast, after multiple people were caught in rough water conditions.<\/p>\n

A statement from an ACT Policing spokesperson said the man died on Saturday afternoon after he was pulled from the water.<\/p>\n

“ACT Policing, NSW Police and multiple emergency service agencies were called to Green Patch beach at the southern shore of Jervis Bay about 4:45pm \u2026 after reports of multiple people struggling to stay afloat in rough conditions,” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

“A 34-year-old NSW man was brought back to the beach and CPR was commenced; however, he was declared deceased at the scene.<\/p>\n

“Three other people were attended to by paramedics, with none requiring further medical attention.”<\/p>\n

Signposts in the area state that Green Patch beach, encapsulated in the Booderee National Park, is an unpatrolled beach that can be susceptible to dangerous currents.<\/p>\n

Jervis Bay is a federal Australian territory, 195 kilometres east of Canberra and 105km south of Wollongong, which is geographically in New South Wales but falls under ACT Policing jurisdiction.<\/p>\n

A report will be prepared for the ACT coroner, as the man died in waters designated to the Capital Territory.<\/p>\n

The death comes a day after a spearfisherman drowned at Lobster Bay Beach, near Currarong<\/a>, about 60km from Jervis Bay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 34-year-old man has drowned at Jervis Bay, along the New South Wales South Coast, after multiple people…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":389949,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[64,63,23979,208857,44,1157,208858],"class_list":["post-389948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-drowning","tag-jervis-bay","tag-news","tag-rescue","tag-rough-water"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=389948"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389948\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/389949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=389948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=389948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=389948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
