We are very proud to announce that our team of Marine Mammal Specialists and Veterinarians from Dolphin Discovery Punta Cana responded to the call of the Government of the Dominican Republic to locate, rescue, rehabilitate and reintegrate a dolphin that had been sighted in Playa Blanca of the Dominican Republic.
In conjunction with the Marine Innovation Center (CIM) of the Punta Cana Foundation Group, our team located the dolphin, which turned out to be a young female of the ‘Stenella longirostris’ species, to which a physical evaluation was performed, hydration was provided and a thorough medical examination was performed, which determined that its vital signs were normal and that it had no visible injuries, which is why the dolphin was returned to the deep waters of the open sea.
We are excited to participate in these marine animal rescue actions as they demonstrate our commitment to the conservation of the species. Our team of Rescue Team professionals participates every year in the rehabilitation and reintroduction of marine fauna, not only in the Dominican Republic, but around the world. Supporting wildlife is part of Dolphin Discovery’s reason for being, the other part corresponds to raising awareness of the care of animals and the habitat in which they develop.
