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).
