Dead Dolphin washed up. The decaying body of what is believed to be a bottlenose dolphin was washed up on the North Cornish coast at Fistral beach recently. Marine conservation officer for the Cornwall Wildlife Trust, Joana Doyle, commented in the press,"We believe there is only one local pod of inshore bottlenose dolphins. In 1991 there were 18 of them. Sightings last year say there were just six. It may have been caught in nets and that is very worrying for their future in this area".
