    Dead Hector's dolphins continue to wash up on South Island shores - with another found at Southland's Te Waewae Bay last weekend


    It's the fifteenth since November.

    Department of Conservation aquatic director, Elizabeth Heeg, says the adult female's been sent to Massey University for an autopsy.

    She says they still don't know why so many have washed up in the past six months.
