For two days, three dolphins have been jumping into the port of La Rochelle. Attempts to get them out this Thursday, June 27, failed.
An astonishing spectacle. It’s been two days since three dolphins jumped among boats in the port of La Rochelle. A unique scene that delights tourists and passers-by. This Thursday, June 27, scientists are trying to free the three marine mammals that are stuck inside the port.
Dolphins are healthy
Specialists from Pélagis, the marine mammal center located in La Rochelle, tried with three kayaks and two boats to push them back towards the exit of the basin. Still without success. “We used steel bars to make an unpleasant sound to show them that this is not the way to go. But the method did not work.
“We almost believed it, they went the opposite of us trying to pass under the footbridge and then they turned around and returned to the bottom of the pool,” explains Cécile Dars, the stranding specialist. at Pélagis at the microphone of France Bleu. For the moment, scientists are not worried, because the mammals are in good health and under good surveillance.
La Rochelle is not the only port visited by dolphins. Wednesday June 26, nine cetaceans were in Pornic (four left the port on their own, the firefighters intervened for the others) and one in Quiberon.
