Dec. 10 (UPI) — Marine rescuers in Massachusetts came to the rescue of two dolphins who became stranded in a marsh by low tides.
The Wareham Department of Natural Resources said rescuers responded to the Beaverdam Creek area, off the Weweantic River, when two dolphins were spotted “alive and active on the marsh but out of the water due to the low tide.”
The International Fund for Animal Welfare’s Marine Mammal Stranding Response Team was summoned for assistance and crews were able to transport the dolphins into a waiting transport vehicle.
The dolphins were taken to be examined by veterinarians to determine whether they can be released back into the wild or if they require any rehabilitative care.
