New Zealand moves to protect rare Hector Dolphins

Hi there,

I thought this was news worthy because this new law in New Zealand is going to impact many people lives/income and the rare Hector Dolphins. This Reuter’s article states “New Zealand plans to ban commercial fishing near its coast and set up marine reserves to protect the rare Hector’s dolphins, a government minister said on Thursday, May 29th.”

Animal Conservationist say the law does not go far enough to protect the Hector Dolphin and the fishing industry says that this law is going affect the New Zealand fishing industry tremendously.

I would love to see the beautiful Hector Dolphin’s swimming area be protected but I also hate seeing people livelihoods being taken away. I wish there was a good balance. What is your opinion?
God Bless,
John
