FYI "
Herring Cove is one of the more ideal release locations because the beach faces toward the ocean instead of toward Cape Cod Bay. A release that faces the ocean gives the dolphin a better chance of not stranding again, said IFAW volunteer Colleen Barrett, who is also a veterinarian.
What do you do if you see a stranded dolphin?
Anyone who sees a stranded (alive or dead) seal, dolphin, whale or porpoise is asked to call the IFAW stranding hotline at 508-743-9548."
