Atlantic White Sided Dolphin on Rye Beach

Posted on June 11, 2017

When our team responds to a deceased marine mammal on the shore, we mark it with a paint stick to indicate that we have accessed the carcass, taken photographs, and collected necessary data. However, the surf often removes the markings, making it necessary for us to remark the animal. Thank you to everyone that has called the hotline to report the deceased Atlantic White Sided Dolphin in Rye this weekend. We are remarking the animal today and will check with the Town of Rye tomorrow morning to see if they are able to remove it.
