Bay of Islands Updates Dolphin Rules | Auckland News
Description
The Bay of Islands is upgrading its dolphin protection by scrapping two outdated “safe zones” — science showed dolphins weren’t really using them — while keeping the core rule: stay 300 meters away from any marine mammal. This change, driven by new data and public feedback, simplifies rules for all boats and marine mammals, not just commercial vessels, after dolphin numbers plummeted from nearly 300 in 1999 to just 26 in 2020.
