Have you seen a Māui dolphin?
Māui dolphins are the world’s rarest marine dolphin, with only 63 surviving today. They’re critically endangered, but this year we have a chance to save them. Less than 30% of their habitat is protected from deadly set nets. Now the government is reviewing their plan for protecting these precious dolphins.
That’s where you come in. The more data we have about where Māui dolphins swim, the more chance we have of protecting them. If you see a dolphin with a rounded fin, send it in!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
