"A win for the dolphins": Advocates praise decision to shift SailGP

Dolphin advocates are celebrating SailGP's decision to move next year's event from Christchurch. 

SailGP announced the 2025 edition wouldn't return to Lyttelton Harbour, which has hosted for the last two years. 

In this year's event, the first day of racing was controversially cancelled due to a Hector's Dolphin spotting. 

Maui and Hector's Dolphin Defenders spokesperson Christine Rose told Mike Hosking that regulations are in place for anyone using boats in Hector's Dolphin habitats. 

She says those rules have to apply for everyone else, especially when the scale of impacts is greater.
