Happy World Oceans Day to all! It's only thanks to the oceans and its creatures that we can live on land. This is a day to remind us the oceans need love and support just like every part of the planet! The photos depict a sea turtle, dolphin, seal, and whale, just some of the many magnificent creatures that are our marine neighbors ❤️ And the ones MERR happens to respond to and help!

On the evening of Monday, May 11, MERR responded to a deceased juvenile bottlenose dolphin that beached along the Broadkill. It was determined that it suffered injuries common to the species in which the males attempt to deter the young from being with their mother. The team arrived shortly after the call to dispose of the body before sunset.

Please call us at 302-228-5029 if you find a stranded or injured (living or deceased) marine mammal or sea turtle.
