A 4-feet long Irrawaddy dolphin baby has washed up on Kuakata beach in Patuakhali. It has injury marks on its head and abdomen. The crops of the dolphin later buried on the beach on early Thursday night .
Sagarika Smriti, Associate Researcher of EcoFish-2 Bangladesh Project of Worldfish, a research institute working on blue ocean economy, coastal environment and biodiversity, said, this dolphin has a clear injury mark near its head.
It may die due to bleeding from there. Ruman Imtiaz Tushar, team leader of Kuakata Dolphin Protection Committee, said that as soon as we received the information, our members with the help of Forest Department and Blue-Guard made arrangements to bury the dolphin in a safe place.
We are working around the clock with dolphins throughout this coastal area.
