🌊🐬 Sad news from Aberavon Beach as a short-beaked common dolphin was found washed ashore. The Port Talbot Coastguard responded swiftly after being alerted on Friday and made arrangements for the dolphin to be transported to London Zoo, where it will undergo a post-mortem to uncover what happened.
This is the latest in a series of unfortunate incidents lately, with other marine life discoveries on our shores. Just recently, a massive 70ft fin whale was found in Carmarthenshire’s Cefn Sidan sands, already in a state of decomposition. Meanwhile, in Fife, Scotland, thousands of starfish were washed up on Kirkcaldy Beach.
These events serve as stark reminders of the challenges marine life faces and raise questions about the health of our oceans. Stay tuned for updates on the dolphin’s post-mortem findings. Let’s hope that understanding these incidents helps us protect these magnificent creatures in the future. 🌊✨ #MarineLife #WildlifeProtection #OceanConservation
