POLIHALE — A beached dolphin of unconfirmed species was found Thursday at the northern end of Polihale Beach. Department of Land and Natural Resources made an attempt to remove the deceased marine mammal but was unable to because of the wet conditions from rainfall.
Inter-Island helicopters assisted in the removal of the dolphin by using a cargo net and delivered the dolphin to Port Allen. DLNR will seek an autopsy for the dolphin to determine its cause of death.
It was the first time the helicopter company transported a marine mammal by air.
