Another move has been made in Gisborne to protect Moko the dolphin.
A substantial reward is now on offer for information which leads to the prosecution of anyone hurting the bottle-nose dolphin.
It's a $5,0000 reward, put up by the Enterprise Motor Group.
It follows an attack on the dolphin about 10 days ago, when Moko was repeatedly punched by a group of youths at Waikanae Beach.
The Moko Minders are swinging into action on Monday.
They are a group who will monitor the dolphin and protect him every day for a period of five weeks.
They will also advise the public on how to interact with him in the water.
