Three Tokelauan teenagers missing at sea for 50 days have miraculously been rescued by a New Zealand fishing boat.

The three boys, Samuel Perez and Filo Filo, both 15, and Edward Nasau, 14, went missing from the atoll of Atafu on October 5.

There are reports they survived by eating coconuts at the start of the ordeal and a solitary raw seagull which they managed to catch after it landed on their small aluminium boat.
