[Coral-List] New blog post: what's turning dolphins in South Carolina into half dolphins?

[David Shiffman]

Hello, everyone! As some of you have heard, the front half of a dolphin
washed up on a popular tourist beach in South Carolina a couple of weeks
ago, the second time in recent weeks that this has occurred. I interviewed
the local marine mammal stranding team, as well as local shark experts, to
investigate what happened.

The resulting blog post is now online (warning, it contains a somewhat
graphic image of half of a dolphin) .

Please read and share, and if you have any questions about the incident,
please leave them as comments on the blog post. I'll make sure that the
experts I interviewed see your questions.

Have a great weekend, all!

Sincerely,
