Brian Sharp, director of marine mammal rescue & research at IFAW, said rescuers are currently offering supportive care, including IV fluids, while they wait for higher tides to move the animals.
"Right now we just need the tide to come in and help us refloat because these animals are so large," Sharp said. The largest is estimated to be around 4,000 pounds.Better tide conditions are expected around 3:20 p.m. Tuesday.Experts say the geography of the Cape Cod peninsula can create conditions for strandings.
