KARACHI: A dolphin that beached in the Sonmiani area of Balochistan was rescued and helped swim back to the sea on Tuesday.
The species identified as an Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin was about 5.5 feet long. It’s a near threatened species, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List.
“The incident took place at a distant place in Miani Hor (a swampy lagoon near the coast of Lasbela district). The stranded dolphin was rescued by Naseer Ahmad and Tahseen, two fishermen who were returning from a fishing trip when they noticed the species,” said Mohammad Moazzam Khan working as a technical adviser on marine resources with the World Wide Fund for Nature-Pakistan (WWF-P).
