It's been 10 days since Toa was found stranded on Plimmerton rocks.Toa was transferred to a man-made pool last Thursday after storms were forecast for Wellington.Neither volunteers nor the orca can go back into the water until the regional council gives the all clear for post-storm pollution.Marine Biologist Professor Karen Stockin says the longer Toa is with humans, the harder and more stressful it will be for him to reintegrate into a pod.LISTEN ABOVE
