Marine conservationists are in a race to save “Tala,” hoping it would become the first stranded dolphin to survive in this part of the country. On Carias Island in the Hundred Islands National Park, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources has prepared a floating cage where Tala will be transferred from a tank at its station in Lucap wharf here. The 1.8-meter rough-toothed dolphin was found on Bolo beach on July 2 and was taken by the Alaminos City tourism staff to the station where it underwent treatment and rehabilitation.
