A bottlenose dolphin has been rescued by the team from Sea World after swimming into shallow water in the Brunswick River on the NSW Far North Coast.

The dolphin was found stranded on a bank and had to be coaxed into shallow waters before it could be relocated.

“The animal did come high and dry on a bank so it did strand,” Claire Madden from the Sea World Foundation said.

“We employed a human chain, acting as a net, to guide the animal into shallower waters,” explained Wayne Phillips of the Sea World Foundation.

Once secured, the dolphin was carefully examined.

Madden said the animal showed positive signs.

“Fish in his stomach so he’s been eating, good body condition, no ocular disease,” she said.

The dolphin was subsequently moved in a van, kept under observation throughout, and moved about 600 metres along a path to an appropriate release spot by the Brunswick River.
