Wow!
(From the Gulfport, MS Oceanarium website)
Eight Atlantic Bottlenose dolphins who were swept away by a tidal wave after their tank was submerged by Hurricane Katrina suddenly reappeared close to the ruins of Marine Life Oceanarium ten days after the storm.
Amazingly, this past Saturday the dolphin families were discovered at the mouth of the Port of Gulfport. Shelly, Kelly, Jill, Noah, Tamara, Toni, Jackie, and Elijah have been fed for the past three days by their trainers and have been placed on antibiotics and vitamins while health tests results are pending.
Marine Life, with the help of NOAA, DMR, Coast Guard, the Harrison County Sheriff, and the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies staff will rescue the animals within the next few days.
The public is reminded that it is a federal offense to approach dolphins
or harass them. We request that everyone please stay away from the mouth of the state port.
