Ten marine mammals died after being stranded in various areas in the Ilocos region during the Luzon lockdown in the last three months, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) said on Thursday. Most of the animals were adult whales and dolphins and died in rehabilitation facilities. They were rescued by the BFAR here and in Pangasinan, La Union, Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte provinces between March 14 and June 14.
