Small lost dolphin saved in Filicudi, VIDEO
Explain to me briefly the following article:
A small dolphin was rescued in the Aeolian Islands. “The sea – says Aeolian biologist Monica Blasi, president of the Filicudiconservation association – wanted to give us one of the most intense and emotional experiences of our working path. The rescue of a dolphin, a female Stenella, in serious difficulty inside a port area just a few meters from the coast. Thanks to the remote support of CERT – Cetacean strandings Emergency Response Team and colleagues from the Life Delfi project, we decided to try to get her out of the port and try to move her away from the coast. With the support of some local workers, we recovered the dolphin on our boat and then released her into the open sea, hoping she would take to the open seas, as she apparently did not have serious injuries or other visible problems other than some abrasions she had suffered on the rocks.”
“Everything – she explains – happened very quickly also because Stenellas are among the cetacean species most prone to stress-related illnesses and therefore their manipulation can be fatal. We monitored the dolphin for more than three hours trying to push her out to sea until the weather and ocean conditions allowed it. Then the strong maestrale wind made us lose track of her and we returned to Filicudi. We hope the dolphin manages to find her companions, although unfortunately when a dolphin beaches itself it is a sign of some important problem difficult to solve even for the most experienced veterinarians. We cross our fingers and hope for the best.” And she makes an appeal: “For those sailing in the Aeolian Islands, be careful with the speed and keep an extra eye on the sea in these days. You can contact us at 349 4402021 for any sightings or emergencies day and night!”
