JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission is investigating the death of a dolphin calf in the waters near the Mayport Jetties.
The 4-foot dolphin was found floating belly up.
Sarge Hall said when they got it out of the water, there was nothing they could do.
“We tried to give it a little pat, put a little water on it, but yeah, it was clearly dead,” Hall said.
He said there were no visible signs of trauma on the dolphin.
The FWC said a necropsy is planned for Friday.
