There are thought to be at least four sub-populations of Hector’s dolphins, including East, South, and West Coasts of the South Island (ECSI, SCSI, and WCSI, respectively) and West Coast North Island (Māui dolphins, a subspecies). This project is intended to complete the series of recent surveys commissioned by MPI and DOC to provide updated abundance estimates for all populations in advance of the 2018 review of the TMP. Although the abundance and distribution of this population was assessed in 2010, a reanalysis of the 2010 survey indicated that the population is smaller than previously thought (238 individuals; CV: 40%; 95% CI: 113–503). Given that abundance estimate is now 6 years old, an updated abundance and distribution estimate is necessary ahead of the 2018 review of the TMP.
