Another caught dolphin
In the last days we received two calls by fishermen who unfortunately noticed a dolphin getting caught in the net and died. This phenomenon is rare and was not recorded in the last years. Tilen Genov from Društvo Morigenos along with the colleagues from MBP put the dolphin out of the water. The dolphin was an adult male (3.20 m in length).

Today we changed the connecting cables and returned the camera back to its original location. We wish you a pleasant experience in viewing the underwater world near Piran available at this link.
