But if you just wanted to say two things, you could say:

- protections should cover the entire range of key hoiho habitat

Thank you for speaking up for hoiho 🐧

Good piece from Waatea News about our High Court hoiho hearing.

“In a statement released after the hearing, ELI’s senior legal advisor warned that the long-term proposal from Fisheries NZ is deeply flawed and insufficient to safeguard the hoiho.”
