One man had minor injuries to his arm where the juvenile male dolphin grazed his back and shoulder, but all three fishermen and the dolphin were otherwise uninjured.<\/p>\n<p>But returning the majestic creature to the sea was not an option for the trio due to its size.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We looked at the dolphin still alive and breathing and we thought, we&#8217;ve got to start looking after him and figure out what to do,&#8221; Harrison said. &#8220;Because he&#8217;s stuck in the boat for now, so he&#8217;s coming along for the ride.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The men alerted New Zealand&#8217;s conservation agency and were directed to a boat ramp an hour away, where workers waited to help the dolphin. On the way, the trio used a hose to keep the creature wet and protected it from the sun using a damp towel depicting players from the All Blacks rugby team.<\/p>\n<p>On shore, members of a local M\u0101ori tribe prayed for the dolphin before it was returned to the ocean using a tractor. Helpers gave the 2- 3-year-old creature a name: Tohu, which means &#8220;sign&#8221; in the M\u0101ori language.<\/p>\n<p>Tohu is now also the name of Dean Harrison&#8217;s boat.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The dolphin got to swim away and we got to walk away and we&#8217;ve all got a story to tell,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s a good ending in a situation that could have been very different.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\"><span class=\"img embed__content\"><img alt=\"New Zealand Dolphin Boat \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/03\/05\/90030a9b-eb32-4f3e-8ba0-be04a5948338\/thumbnail\/620x413\/5bc7dae331f3f59b924774c8653435d8\/ap25064136131160.jpg?v=63a2b43e2ef8917aa6bd547ca29dd4fa 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/03\/05\/90030a9b-eb32-4f3e-8ba0-be04a5948338\/thumbnail\/1240x826\/4c1fadf68e139d7e0413b3c848a0cca1\/ap25064136131160.jpg?v=63a2b43e2ef8917aa6bd547ca29dd4fa 2x\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><span class=\"embed__caption\">In this photo provided by the New Zealand Department of Conservation a dolphin is tended to at Waitangi, New Zealand, after it was removed from a fishing boat that the dolphin had jumped into on Feb. 28, 2025.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Department of Conservation via AP<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Large marine creatures have made sudden &#8212; and scary &#8212; appearances on boats before.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, a whale leapt out of the water off the coast of New Hampshire,\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/boston\/news\/breaching-whale-capsizes-boat-new-hampshire-rye-fisherman\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">capsizing a boat <\/a><\/span>and sending two fishermen flying into the ocean.
