Watch: Toa with his team of volunteers
Volunteers stayed in the frigid Wellington ocean with a stranded baby orca all night as the search for its family continues into its third day. 
Dr. Ingrid Visser, from Orca Research Trust, told Newshub the baby orca has received a karakia from the local iwi's kaumātua and has been named.
"It means brave and strong - his name is Toa. I had goosebumps when they told me what his name was so I think it's really fitting."
