For those interested.

Online Petition, run by Greenpeace this time. No other group ever pushed this to my knowledge.





Were a common site when I was growing up, used to regularly see a small group in close around Kauri Point and sometimes at the top end of the south channel. Last one I saw was Mako point around a year ago which I photographed and reported to MPI/DOC. Of course a lot of things were more common back then.

In light of recent fish dumping event just outside the Manukau Harbor probably good timing. Still theonly reason there are net ban areas in some of the West coast harbors so we should really thank the Maui dolphin for dragging that cross for us at least.

Thanks for putting that up Millsy

Although I don't always agree with Greenpeace this is something definitely worth fighting for. Gill nets are indiscriminate killers and imagining a NZ without Maui's dolphin is not a good thought.
