SA: Bid to free entangled dolphin today
There'll be a bid today to free a young dolphin caught in a fishing line in Adelaide'sPort River.
The Australian Dolphin Research Foundation says a team of up to 15 people will tryto catch the one-year-old dolphin, free her from the fishing line and treat her with antibiotics,if necessary.
It's the second time the dolphin has been injured by a fishing line -- a similar rescuewas made late last year.
The Foundation says a line digs a deep groove into the dolphin's flesh, and unfortunately,one can get caught in that groove again.
It says the rescue will be hazardous, as many dolphins die during attempts to catch them.
