The marine mammal was found stranded near Kuala Nerus and safely returned to sea.
A group of seven marine biology students from Universiti Malaysia Terengganu rescued a dolphin found stranded at Pantai Tanjung Gelam near Kuala Nerus yesterday.
“At first it seemed unbelievable because, as far as I know, there has never been any sighting of a dolphin stranded off the coast of Terengganu before,” said Mohd Nur Aiman, a final year degree student in Marine Biology at UMT. “I was made to understand that the dolphin was found stranded at the beach but two individuals managed to move it to shallow water before we arrived,” said Mohd Nur Aiman who was assisted by Akalili Zanudin, 21; Wan Amirul Syafiq Wan Nazari, 22; Syakirah Sukery, 21; Farah Syahirah Ishak, 21; Syafiqah Nabilah Mutalib, 21, and Nur Aini Othman, 21.
