There were two relevant court cases this year. This one in the US Court of International Trade, which began in December 2024. And a case in the High Court of New Zealand which concluded in December 2024. The High Court judge said that NZ government agencies are not doing enough to protect marine mammals, seabirds, turtles and other marine life. For more information, see our post from 17 December. ...

This is what he said about Maui dolphin conservation in 2019. The court case he mentions had a minor hiccup this year, caused by Sea Shepherd US (Yes, the people who kicked Paul Watson out of Sea Shepherd also threw Maui dolphin under the bus).

Great news! The Christchurch City Council decided to use screw piles to fix the Akaroa Jetty. The old fashioned type of piles are literally hammered into the mud, which makes a lot of noise - underwater as well as above water.
