IFAW rescuers were using incoming tide to their advantage in getting the mammals into deeper water. All of the dolphins appeared to have survived. Strandings normally seem to happen during the winter but this is not the first time it has happened this summer. Seven dolphins that stranded in Eastham on August 17th and were released at West Dennis Beach (above). Although the "hook" of the Cape leads the dolphins into trouble, the exact cause of the strandings remains a mystery.
