Together At Last
Remaining Dolphins Rescued

After the remaining dolphins disappeared for two days, the rescue team spotted them behind the Beau Rivage casino. It is believed that the dolphins were chased from the port of Gulfport by either predators or wild dolphins.

The four dolphins were able to be rescued on Tuesday and were transported to the Navy tanks on the Seabee base where they were finally able to rejoin the others.

All of the dolphins are doing well, even Elijah who was discovered with a sting ray barb in his forehead. The dolphins will remain on the Seabee base until all of their medical tests are cleared. Eventually, they will temporarily be moved to another facility.
