Charity takes legal action over set net fishing ban, says hoiho need more protection
The Environmental Law Initiative has filed court proceedings against the oceans and fisheries minister, saying the ban fails to protect hoiho, or yellow eyed penguins, from the risk of extinction.

This Bird of the Year season I am once again calling on everyone to manifest a high-quality release of Marlon Williams' Hoiho Waita. I know one exists! It was in one of the gigs he streamed during the everyone-puts-gigs-online days at the early heights of the pandemic! We can make this happen! #BOTY

Fact Check. Last year hoiho won, the year before that was the bird of last week tonight, and the year before that was the rock wren/pīwauwau, and then the year before that was the bat.
Clearly, from this, if you join in conversations about BOTY you are going to learn more than you may want to know

Saw a horse on the street today so stopped the pram to show the tiny hobbit.
“Look a hōiho!”
The tiny hobbit, fascinated by the line of cars stuck behind:
“CAAAH!!! Booo caaah! Bak cahh”
😂🤦🏽♀️

I was disappointed that RNZ’s interview this morning may have left listeners with the idea that the human causes of Hoiho decline are being run over and loose dogs. While these are factors, the big ones are overfishing, fishing bykill and climate change

Stunning day in Ōtepoti Dunedin. At Aramoana beach earlier. Saw a bunch of hoiho (yellow eyed penguins) mucking about in the surf and a couple of Royal Albatross gliding across the harbour mouth. Feeling the love for this special corner of NZ 🤩.

The Govt must use every tool it has to prevent this population from going extinct. Set net fishing is one of the threats facing hoiho. It is the one we can remove immediately. Our recent High Court win showed that DOC has powers to stop critically endangered marine wildlife from being killed in nets

I immediately recognised that awesome tama/hoiho pic as being the bridge over the awa Kererū, just east of Te Kaha 😁

Hoiho are extremely endangered in New Zealand, having declined about 80% since 2008 to just 143 nesting pairs last season. Recent bycatch of presumably breeding adults has driven calls for fisheries restrictions, let's hope they work!

“…there were three dangerous things that are seen as innocuous enough to infiltrate the Pākehā world — Māori music, art and literature, and those were the things that kept my wairua alive... I’m happy with this Māori Trojan hōiho and I hope to build and dispatch many more” -MOKOTRON

‼️ The Government doesn't want you to see fishers catching (and killing) protected species like Hector's dolphins, hoiho, and albatrosses.
They want to hide the reality of fisheries bycatch by making footage from cameras on boats exempt from the OIA.

Hōiho are at breaking point. The fishing industry is killing the ocean and it needs to stop. 🐧
