On August 2, thanks to notification from the staff at the Marina Fort Louis and some boaters, the Réserve Naturelle tried to help a young dolphin in distress, injured on its snout and disoriented. Already sighted in the bay at Grand-Case, in a thin, weakened state, this little marine mammal was not yet weaned and died during an examination by veterinarian Dr. Michel Vély. The animal was treated according to the protocol for “marine mammals in distress” established by a national network to which the Réserve belongs. This small animal was kept for an autopsy, the results of which will be used for training purposes at the Agoa sanctuary
