They have distinct black facial markings, short stocky bodies and a dorsal fin shaped like a Mickey Mouse ear.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>I don\u2019t think so. And I reckon most New Zealanders&#8217; values would align with that.<\/p>\n\n<p>But then there is the other Russell, Russell Coutts, CEO of SailGP.<\/p>\n\n<p>Previously SailGP agreed with the approach of prioritising dolphins\u2019 safety ahead of boat races, but now comments by Coutts suggest they have changed their mind.<\/p>\n\n<p>What happened?<\/p>\n\n<p>SailGP decided they wanted to have their race in Lyttelton Harbour, where there is a marine mammal sanctuary because endangered Upokohue\/Hector&#8217;s dolphins live there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Upokohue\/Hector&#8217;s is one of the smallest and rarest dolphins in the world and is classified by scientists as \u201cThreatened \u2013 Nationally Vulnerable\u201d, which means they face a high risk of extinction in the medium term. They are only found in New Zealand. These are all good reasons to protect them.<\/p>\n\n<p>SailGP was told about the problems of holding the race in a marine mammal sanctuary. This was especially problematic because of the very high speed of the boats and the presence of mothers with calves. SailGP persisted and a series of rules were agreed (the Marine Mammal Protection Plan) that would allow the race but protect the dolphins. The most important rule was that racing must stop if dolphins were sighted in or near the racing area.<\/p>\n\n<p>Only a fortnight ago Andrew Thompson, SailGP Managing Director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scoop.co.nz\/stories\/CU2403\/S00114\/season-4-marine-mammal-management-plan-bolsters-protections-for-dolphins-during-sailgp-on-whakaraupo.htm\">said<\/a> about the Marine Mammal Protection Plan: \u201cIt\u2019s an industry-leading example of SailGP\u2019s commitment to the environments in which we operate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>As the Department of Conservation have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doc.govt.nz\/news\/media-releases\/2024-media-releases\/doc-statement-sailgp-lyttelton\/\">stated<\/a>: \u2018This decision to hold the event there was made in the full knowledge that protection of the dolphins from the impact of boats will be <strong>paramount<\/strong>.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n<p>Personally, I don\u2019t agree with having the race there at all. It is a marine sanctuary, for god\u2019s sake, but if it is going ahead, it is good that the protection plan was agreed upon.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>But then on Saturday the dolphins turned up, the agreed rules were activated and the racing was paused. Which was what SailGP agreed because of their \u2018commitment to the environments in which we operate\u2019.<\/p>\n\n<p>But then Coutts lost his shit and in a Trumpian <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rnz.co.nz\/news\/sport\/512544\/sir-russell-coutts-slams-extreme-dolphin-policy-after-sailgp-races-canned\">outburst <\/a>attacked all and sundry- DoC, the harbourmaster, the hap\u016b, the scientists, the laws etc etc. His attack on rules to protect dolphins echoed this government\u2019s war on nature with its oil and gas exploration and fast-track laws for environmentally destructive projects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>So much for all the greenwash that SailGP cares about the environment! And as for Coutts&#8217; gratuitous attack on Ng\u0101ti Wheke, thank goodness that they stood up for the dolphins because it is clear that SailGP couldn&#8217;t care less.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>When it comes to not really giving a damn about dolphins, I used to think that no one would best George Clement, the then head of Seafood New Zealand, when he blamed the dolphins for drowning themselves in fishing nets. But Russell Coutts sure has given it a crack.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout  \"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Image\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"cover-card-overlay\"\n\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/community.greenpeace.org.nz\/petitions\/scuttle-sailgp-lyttelton-for-hector-s-dolphins\" target=\"_blank\"\n\t\t\t><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/03\/0589e171-hectors_dolphin.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/03\/0589e171-hectors_dolphin-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/03\/0589e171-hectors_dolphin-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/03\/0589e171-hectors_dolphin-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2024\/03\/0589e171-hectors_dolphin.jpg 993w\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 358px, (min-width: 780px) 313px, 88px\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"\" title=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n            \t\t\t<div class=\"boxout-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"boxout-heading medium\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Title\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/community.greenpeace.org.nz\/petitions\/scuttle-sailgp-lyttelton-for-hector-s-dolphins\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\ttarget=\"_blank\"\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tECan Protect Hector&#8217;s Dolphins through your Regional Plan\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"boxout-excerpt\">We call on ECan to protect Hector&#8217;s from fishing related impacts, through the Council&#8217;s Regional Plan.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t                                    <a\n                        class=\"btn btn-primary\"\n                        data-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n                        data-ga-action=\"Call to Action\"\n                        data-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n                        href=\"https:\/\/community.greenpeace.org.nz\/petitions\/scuttle-sailgp-lyttelton-for-hector-s-dolphins\"\n                        target=\"_blank\"\n                    >\n                        Sign the petition\n                    <\/a>\n                \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nzherald.co.nz\/sport\/sailing\/russel-norman-sailgp-not-worth-killing-dolphins-over-as-russell-coutts-signs-up-to-war-on-nature\/ZCYR7OG73JFWFCI2QYR54UAW5A\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>This article was first published in the NZ Herald.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don\u2019t know who needs to hear this, but SailGP is just a boat race.
