Multiple dolphins were rescued Sunday after they became stranded on Cape Cod, but the IFAW says one had to be euthanized due to its declining condition.
The International Fund for Animal Welfare said it received a report just after the 8:12 a.m. high tide of 16 large common dolphins circling close to shore off Wellfleet Harbor, near the mouth of Duck Creek in Wellfleet, Massachusetts.
Staff and volunteers quickly responded before the dolphins were in further trouble, according to Nicole Hunter, IFAW's assistant coordinator to the marine mammal rescue team, but high winds prevented a response by boat.Eight of the dolphins eventually stranded around 10:45 a.m. as the tide quickly receded.Several dolphins stranded on Sunday, Nov. 20, off Wellfleet Harbor, near the mouth of Duck Creek, according to the IFAW.
“We were able to give the dolphins treatment and supportive care to counter the effects of trauma of what probably feels like a car accident to a stranded dolphin,” Hunter added.
