30 dolphins strand in 5 Cape towns | Mobile - CapeCodOnline.com
Animal welfare officials spent hours attempting to rescue about 30 dolphins today in what one official called “one of the largest dolphin strandings in this area ever.”
Officials from the International Fund for Animal Welfare, the New England Aquarium and volunteers responded to strandings from Dennis to Wellfleet, said Kerry Branon, an IFAW spokeswoman.
Officials found stranded dolphins in Dennis, Brewster, Orleans, Eastham and Wellfleet.
Rescuers released 11 dolphins into waters off Scusset Beach in Sagamore Beach, Branon said. Between 10 and 12 of them were dead when found, and eight were inaccessible to rescue teams because of the tide.
The strandings came the day after several others on Cape Cod, Branon said.
