WELLFLEET – Volunteers with the International Fund for Animal Welfare had a busy Sunday afternoon after some 45 dolphins stranded in Wellfleet.The stranding scene was by Great Island near Duck Harbor. The dolphins were evaluated and tagged. Because the usual releasing beaches in Truro and Provincetown were full, the dolphins were reportedly released back at Duck Harbor once the tide had come in enough. IFAW used vessels and pingers to guide the dolphins out to sea.
IFAW volunteers were monitoring in case any of the dolphins came back into shore. IFAW officials say if you see a dolphin or other animal stranded not to go near it but to call them at 508-743-9548.
