Two New Zealand fishing companies are working with the World Wildlife Foundation to help reduce harm caused to Māui dolphins by commercial fishing along the West Coast of the North Island. The companies, Moana and Sanford, have promised to implement a range of changes, including no conventional trawling within a 100m depth in Māui habitat after 2022, and also video cameras & electronic tracking on all vessels. Pearl speaks to World Wildlife Foundation Head of Campaigns, Peter Hardstaff, and CEO of Sanford, Volker Kuntzsch, about this decision.
