Help protect Māui and Hector's dolphins
Māui and Hector's dolphins need our help. Too many dolphins are being killed. Please help protect Māui and Hector's today.
Nationwide
Māui and Hector's dolphins are the smallest marine dolphin and only found here in Aotearoa/New Zealand.
They are at risk of extinction.
Government policies allow more than 50 to be killed by the fishing industry every year. Fast Track projects like deep sea mining and oil and gas mining put them at risk even more. And then there's climate change!
They need your help.
Please support our campaigns to protect Hector's.
For the dolphins.
For the future.

You're making a difference! SailGP is gone from Hector's Lyttelton harbour home. ECan has agreed to bring forward its regional coastal plan. Now, we need to get trawl and set nets out of Hector's home too.
No dolphin should die in a fishing net, like this wee male killed by a trawler on 28 April. A terrible way to die, and a terrible waste. Thanks for your support. For the dolphins.
