A rāhui has been placed on the Wairau Bar in Marlborough after a body was found in the water.
The police said it was spotted by a member of the public in Spring Creek on Saturday afternoon.
A formal identification process is underway but could take some time.
The rāhui covers an area from the Opaoa and Wairau River confluence to the Wairau River mouth and prohibits the collecting of food and anyone entering the water.
It is expected to remain in place for five days.
