Today is Earth Day. It's an ocean earth. So imagine a silent ocean. The echo of Māui and Hector's dolphins is fading to silence. You can help. Please sign and share, call on ECan to protect Hector's community.greenpeace.org.nz/petitions/ecan… #protecthectors #ECanprotecthectors

The fishing industry directly kills dolphins. It also impacts dolphins by reducing their food up to 60% Too much pressure! Sign and share the petition calling on ECan to protect Hector's, their habitat and their health #ECanprotecthectors #protecthectors community.greenpeace.org.nz/petitions/ecan…

Hector's dolphins killed in Canterbury waters are being reported at record levels. Have you signed and shared the petition calling on ECan to protect Hector's? Please do! Stop extinction, protect Hector's. #ECanprotecthectors #protecthectors community.greenpeace.org.nz/petitions/ecan…

Our new 'Extinction watch' Mortality Tracker shows dolphin deaths from trawlers up, since the onboard cameras rollout. Too many dead dolphins. Trawlers within 1nm of shore currently ok. But it's not ok. #protecthectors #ECanprotecthectors

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…...

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/…

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…

Govt's Hector's Bycatch Reduction Plan was to incentivise zero bycatch via public quarterly and annual reports about fishing industry deaths & action taken. But the Incident Database hasn't been updated for months due to MPI delays. Stop the killing. givealittle.co.nz/cause/help-pro…

Bycatch overboard? Unknown age, sex, no necropsy doc.govt.nz/our-work/hecto… #protecthectors

No dolphin should die like this, drowned by a trawler. This wee guy survived shark attack/boat strike but was killed in a fishing net on 28 April this year. One of at least nine since January #protecthectors

Iconic dolphins celebrated in road signs. Not so much celebration at sea where two of the ~40 Hector's there have been killed by the fishing industry in the last year or so alone. No dolphin should die in a fishing net. #protecthectors

RiP little dead dolphin

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 on fishing boats tell an interesting story. 12 trawl deaths so far this fishing year (from Oct) compared with 4 last year and 2 before that. The truth is clear - too many Hector's being killed by the fishing industry. Luxon's govt must act to stop it #protecthectors

We've launched a new campaign calling on PM Luxon to protect Hector's from the fishing industry. No dolphins should be drowned in fishing nets, yet at least 15 have been killed since Luxon took office.

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…

There's a strong mandate for Hector's protection according to the poll that went with the news coverage of our event last weekend. #protecthectors #everydolphinmatters #setnetfreeseas #PMChristopherLuxon

Jones wants to scale back onboard fisheries cameras & reduce observers. Social licence is already marginal. Too many dolphins & other non-target species are being killed. That risks both observer jobs & industry roles #protecthectors newsroom.co.nz/2024/09/25/cam…
