Last Tuesday, a paddle was found in the water about a mile and a half from Prime Point.
Nautical and aerial searches were carried out, with, among other things, several planes, a Cormoran helicopter from the Canadian Armed Forces, drones from the RCMP and three Canadian Coast Guard ships.
About 50 volunteers also took part in the efforts.
