AR-News: (NZ)DoC defends dolphin-tag project

[Animalconcerns]

The Department of Conservation has rubbished claims that its
dolphin-tagging plans go against the advice of its own scientists.

DoC last week announced plans to test satellite-linked transmitters on
three South Island Hector's dolphins off Banks Peninsula, to assess the
technique's suitability for Maui's dolphins.

The department says the technique - never before used on New Zealand
dolphins - will help to save the critically endangered Maui species from
extinction.
