When A Dolphin Needs Our Help
When Good Samaritans see a dolphin stranded, the initial reaction is often to push it back into the water.
That would be a mistake.
Always call FWC immediately when you find a stranded or struggling dolphin. It is common for them to strand when they need help.
Call 888-404-3922
and await their instructions.
FWC
Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission
is the state agency that is responsible for enforcing wildlife violations and assisting injured or stranded dolphins.
While NOAA takes the lead in enforcing laws protecting dolphins, FWC assists them when needed.
