Will set netting end after Hector's dolphins deaths?

From Morning Report, 7:55 am on 21 March 2018

A fisherman accidentally caught five Hector's dolphins in his set nets off the Banks Peninsula in February and the snare up could see the practice banned in New Zealand. Fisheries minister Stuart Nash and Conservation Minister Eugenie Sage are reviewing what the government can do about set nets without stifling the fishing industry. Susie Ferguson talks to Fisheries Inshore NZ chief executive Jeremy Helson.
