Our wonderful friend, Moko, who was featured in your videos, used to play with the locals in the shallow waters of the bay.
Moko was found washed ashore, dead, a couple of weeks ago - she was a legend along the bays up there.

Moko was a male bottlenose dolphin who associated with humans on the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand from 2007 to 2010.
Moko short for “Mokotahi” a headland on the Mahia Peninsula, was three-years-old as of July 2009,[1] he resided at Mahia Beach for two and a half years from 2007 to September 2009,[2][3] and became a major attraction there.[1] He received worldwide fame when he rescued two pygmy sperm whales in March 2008.[1][4] A year later, he trapped a woman out at sea. At the beginning of September 2009 Moko moved 80 km up the coast to Waikanae Beach, Gisborne,[2] and in January 2010 he moved to Whakatane in the Bay of Plenty for five months before following a fishing boat to Tauranga on June 3. .[5] Scientists were worried about Moko's welfare after a study found he had been scarred by boats and a fish hook.[1] He was found dead on the beach at Matakana Island near Tauranga on the 8th of July 2010.[6]
