Dr Rochelle Constantine (University of Auckland) and Matt Ball (Ports of Auckland) share their kōrero about saving our tohorā – Bryde’s whales – from the moment they knew something had to be done, to the challenges of bringing together key stakeholders, and their ultimate success in agreeing a voluntary protocol to slow ship speeds to 10kts in the Hauraki Gulf which has since saved 15 whales and counting.
