	Description:		A multi-agency operation is trying to keep a pod of orcas hunting stingrays safe from stranding in shallow waters in an inlet north of Wellington. The Department of Conservation, Ngati Toa iwi, Project Jonah and orca expert, Ingrid Visser's Whale Rescue, have been working with volunteers watching from their home around the Pauatahanui Inlet. Four boats have been trying to shepherd the pod out to sea and safety, but Dr Visser has criticised their attempt and asked them to stop.
