LA07 Marsha-Tursiops truncatus
The initial Report was received on June 14th, 2006 that there was a dolphin trapped in a large area approx. 70 acres behind a man-made levy.
The water conditions behind this levy were poor with low salinity. The TMMSN responded and rescued this dolphin on June 21st and named her “Marsha” after the “Marsh Master” airboats that aided us in her rescue.
She was rescued by an experienced team with the use of a capture net and given a full health assessment by the veterinarian for release. A roto tag was placed on the trailing edge of her dorsal fin for id and she was transported by airboat ¼ mile for immediate release
into the Gulf.
