Possible sightings of orca pods have raised hopes a young orca may be reunited with his family.
A large-scale mission is underway to relocate the baby orca Toa, who was separated from his family over the weekend.
Teams have been out searching for three days while the community in Plimmerton - in Porirua - has been doing what it can to help the orca.
Ian Angus, Department of Conservation Marine Species Manager, has the latest information.
