Reported missing after travelling to Suriname to fish for crabs last Sunday, four Berbice men have been found alive and unharmed.

The men were stranded after their boat became stuck while they were out at sea and they were forced to catch fish and roast crabs for sustenance after they ran out of supplies for what was intended to be a three-day trip.
