Tauranga residents have been asked to steer clear of a pod of dolphins swimming in shallow water up a river. 

Project Jonah, a charity that aims to protect marine mammals, tweeted this morning they were alerted to the pod.

It said the Department of Conservation was aware of the situation, "and we have put our local medics on standby". 

"If you are in the area and see the dolphins, please stay off the water and give them the space they need."
