Phuket – Marine authorities in Phuket have successfully rescued a rare spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris) that was found stranded and alive on Patong Beach. The rescue this week shows the swift coordination between local security staff, the Kusoldharm Foundation, and the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR) Center of the Upper Andaman Sea. The dolphin was confirmed to be in good health and was released back into the sea. The incident occurred on Patong Beach, a popular tourist destination in Phuket, which is not a typical habitat for dolphins. Stranding events involving marine life can be caused by various factors, including changes in the marine environment or dolphins venturing into shallow waters in pursuit of prey. In this case, the swift response from the involved agencies ensured the dolphin's survival, highlighting awareness and emergency response capabilities for marine wildlife in Phuket.
