Dolphin deaths under investigation

GUARDIA CIVIL officers and Equinac personnel were recently called on twice to investigate  dead striped dolphins.
The first was found on the Playa de las Amoladeras beach in Cabo de Gata.  The 2.2-metre dolphin had been ripped open and a knife handle was found beside its body.
The second, on Garrucha’s Playa Caracola beach, was a female with marks apparently made by an industrial fishing net on its mouth and back.
The Guardia Civil, who are now investigating both deaths, attributed the second to “bad fishing practices” in the area.
Equinac, a non-government organisation, has authorisation from the central government’s Environment Ministry to intervene when turtles or dolphins are found on Almeria’s shores.
