Wildlife with fishing hook injuries

Ash Howell from Wellington Zoo

Sadly we've seen a spike in wildlife coming in to The Nest Te Kōhanga, the Zoo's wildlife hospital, with fishing hook and fishing line injuries this summer.

Our Vet team have been treating these patients and seen firsthand the devastating impact of these fishing hook injuries on our precious manu.

This is a timely reminder that if you are fishing along our coastlines, please remember to remove your rubbish and pick up any other fishing tackle you see around you.
