Captain Lampitoc rushed to see the commotion and found a dolphin swimming slowly in the waters of Brgy. Amalbalan
 
When: March 19, 2006 at around 8 am
 
The brgy. captain immediately called the attention of Tanggol Kalikasan. Alberto Elec, project coordinator for the Multi-partnership Mangrove Rehabilitation of Dasol Bay immediately rushed to Dasol to assist the residents.
 
TK coordinated with BFAR who also came to assist - Tisot Hidalgo and Mel Orpilla (both of BFAR) responded.
 
The nearest place with facilities that can nurse the dolphin is the Oceans Adventure Park in Subic.
 
The dolphin was found to be dehydrated and could not eat. A cut was found on its left abdomen, apparently of shark attack.
 
The dolphin was turned over to Oceans Adventure Park personnel in the afternoon of March 20.
