In a word ...People.Hector's Dolphins are small (4 to 6 feet) and prefer the coastal waters near shore.This makes them susceptible to active trawling-- commercial net fishing where the net is dragged behind a boat, and to gill nets -- a form of fishing where nets are suspended in the water and left unattended. Coastal pollution may also be a factor.The Government of New Zealand has taken steps to help protect Hector's Dolphins but it may be too little too late as only about 25% of their abundance since 1960 survive.30 Years ago there were about 30,000 animals in the wild today there are about 7,000 left.That means that for every 5 dolphins born in the wild the interaction with humans kill about 4.
