A dramatic two-day rescue operation unfolded along the Massachusetts coast after 53 bottlenose dolphins became stranded on the tidal flats of Cape Cod, prompting marine wildlife teams to race against time to save the animals. The latest rescue saw 19 dolphins successfully returned to the sea after they stranded between Brewster and Wellfleet, just a day after another 34 dolphins were found beached in the same region. Wildlife experts say Cape Cod's unique coastline, with its shallow mudflats and rapidly receding tides, makes it one of the world's most frequent hotspots for mass dolphin strandings. The back-to-back incidents have once again highlighted the importance of rapid rescue efforts and long-term conservation.
