Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Maddi Precious, who covers the special 24-hour Strandings Hotline and co-ordinates the strandings volunteers, said, " The phone has not stopped ringing. Distressed members of the public keep calling to tell us of yet more bodies and we send out our dedicated volunteers right away. It's been hard to keep up but luckily we have over 120 people trained to do the work and they're all so willing to help " . The volunteer who attended the young female dolphin said, " It's much worse when you find a small one like this. At first glance, she looked so perfect. She had died so recently that the seagulls hadn't attacked her and her eyes were still bright. Apart from a few scratches, and a strange, deep hole under chin, her skin was smooth and perfect, except for the obvious fishing net marks around her beak and on her flippers.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 I was wondering-does anyone take statistics of how many whales and dolphins beach themselves again further up the coast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
