Latest update on the injured dauphin
Mark, Linda, Maureen and Kristin from the Virginia Aquarium Stranding Team came up to Chincoteague this morning. Mark Swingle is the Director of Research & Conservation at the Virginia Aquarium. Linda and Maureen are employed by the Aquarium and Kristin is a new internet with the Aquarium. Their plan was to search around Assateague Channel as far north as the Assateague Bridge and as far south as the end of Chincoteague in search of the injured dauphin.
Unfortunately, after about 2 1/2 to 3 hours of searching, the dauphin was not spotted. The team had to head back to Virginia Beach but promised to make every effort to return to Chincoteague if and when the dauphin was spotted again. But they tried their hardest to find the dauphing and I thank them for their efforts.
Thanks Mark, Linda, Maureen and Kristin.
