A dolphin
was found lifeless in an already decaying stage at a diving site in Station 3 Manoc-manoc,
Boracay 500 meters away from the shoreline.
According
to the Philippine Coastguard (PCG) Boracay Sub-station, the said dolphin was
found at around 8:30 early this (Thursday) morning.
It was
about 20 inches wide, 42 inches in length and has a weight of 57 kilos.
It was
estimated to have died 1 to 2 days ago, and was said to have been possibly
swept by a moving sea vessel because of an abrasion on its tail.
The
coastguard meanwhile, turned over the dead dolphin to the Boracay Solid Waste
Action Team (BSWAT) for it to be properly buried.
