"The polluters should pay. Instead it will be our mokopuna": Hana Rawhiti Maipi Clarke TPM, as govt lets the country's worst climate polluters - fertiliser & big dairy, off the hook for their emissions rnz.co.nz/news/political…

Crony Shane Jones in his own words: "...cosy with the fishing people...a pro-industry champion...""No NZer should doubt that I am the megaphone of industry" Conflicts of interest worn like a badge of honour carry no mana, just risk ecocide rnz.co.nz/news/political…

D-tag suction cup tech on Hector's dolphins in Cloudy Bay prove they go further and deeper than previously acknowledged. They're being killed by trawl nets in that area and others across the country too. More protection definitely needed! #protecthectors newshub.co.nz/home/new-zeala…

FisheriesNZ 'updates refresh' is obscure, with whole fields missing and others undated. But does show orca, humpbacks, SRW, pilot whales, basking sharks, dolphins & seabirds all killed for no reason = Ecocide. #setnetfreeseas #trawlkill mpi.govt.nz/news/media-rel…

10 dolphins reported killed by fishing industry so far in 2024. 2 the year before onboard cameras. Most within Canterbury waters. Those beyond dolphins directly killed also suffer. The whole pod & species are affected. ECan can fix this, sign and share community.greenpeace.org.nz/.../ecan-prote…...

NZ fisheries = industrial level extinction #protecthectors #setnetfreeseas newshub.co.nz/home/new-zeala…

More deaths, less transparency, less accountability, less action. It's because the powers that be don't want us to see all the carnage. Every dolphin life matters. #protecthectors #setnetfreeseas rnz.co.nz/news/national/…

How about tackling the alcohol industry?

There were 567 vaquita in the Gulf of Mexico in 1997. Now there are only 10-13. There were several hundred Māui in the 1980s. Now there are fewer than 50. Join us to fight extinction. Stop the fishing industry killing dolphins. givealittle.co.nz/cause/help-pro…

As winter sets in, cows and calves, sheep and lambs are literally mired in mud. Soon to be snow. Disgraceful farming practices which must stop. facebook.com/share/p/1nQYYz…

Wrong race and wrong place and blaming dolphin advocates is a failure to take responsibility for a bad call. But we'll own our role in keeping Hector's dolphins safe in their Lyttelton harbour home. Long live Hector's thepress.co.nz/nz-news/350361…

NZ's one of the world's most import dependent countries & we export most of what we produce - primary goods. 83c hidden environmental costs for every $1 of output in NZ's food system. Excl biodiversity costs. No resilience, destroys nature & unhealthy. rnz.co.nz/news/business/…

109 marine mammal bycatch events reported by fisheries observers between 1 July 2022 and 30 June 2023, inc common dolphins, dusky dolphins, Hector's, orca, sea lions and 102 fur seals. 92% were in trawl nets. 5 were within Marine Mammal Sanctuaries. doc.govt.nz/globalassets/d…

Cameras revealing the true scale of Hector's dolphins killed by the fishing industry. Govt must act on these facts

#protecthectors from the fishing industry. Sign and share the petition, be a dolphin defender.

Ministers take note. #protecthectors stuff.co.nz/nz-news/350321…

Shane Jones' typical hyperbole. We can have jobs and dolphins at the same time, but we can't have trawl / set nets and Hector's too #protecthectors #everydolphinmatters #setnetfreeseas stuff.co.nz/nz-news/350416…
