Cape Cod Faces Surge in Dolphin, Whale, and Turtle Strandings

  • In Cape Cod, Massachusetts, there has been a significant rise in animal strandings, including dolphins, whales, and turtles.
  • Experts attribute this phenomenon to changing tides, which leave animals stranded on the beaches when the water recedes.
  • Organizations are executing more rescue operations, as stranded animals face high stress and potential threats from scavengers.
  • Over 140 dolphins were stranded in June, with a survival rate of approximately 70% post-rescue despite some being euthanized.
  • The region's warming waters are causing species like the Kemp’s ridley turtle to migrate northward, exposing them to dangerous conditions.
