A male Wayward Dolphin, that recently swam into the fresh water of Tomoka River near Ormond beach, was rescued and relocated by Seaworld Orlando. After a veterinary health assessment, the 12-person team successfully completed an 8-hour rescue mission, moving the animal to the Intracoastal Waterway.According to Seaworld's official blog, as the dolphin was exposed to fresh water, lesions began to form on his skin, which necessitated his being relocated to salt water. The lesions should eventually disappear now that it has returned to it's natural habitat.
The successful venture was made possible by a collaborative effort between SeaWorld, NOAA Fisheries Service, Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute, The University of Florida and Volusia County.

Isn't living by the water in Florida great? To share our world with dolphins? Wow!
