Cameras on boats have dramatically increased reports of Hector's dolphin deaths in trawl nets. In the first 3 months of this year, 6 Hector's dolphins were killed in trawl nets off Banks Peninsula and Timaru. The government's latest estimate is 3 Hector's dolphins in a whole year, off the whole east coast of the South Island.![]()

These 6 dolphins were reported by fishermen with cameras on their boats. The problem is, not all boats have cameras and not all video footage is being watched. With these reported catches already double the estimated total bycatch, it is already clear that dolphin deaths in fishing nets are much higher than previously thought.
