U.S. Dolphin Deaths Rise to 300; Cause Still a Mystery

From left, Virginia Aquarium Stranding Response Team members Krystal Rodrique of Virginia Beach, Va. and intern Liz Schell of Durango, Co. record observations of a deceased male dolphin on Ocean View Beach in Norfolk, Va. on Thursday, Aug. 1, 2013. This was their third dolphin retrieval of the day. Officials are trying to determine the cause of a sharp increase in dolphin deaths in Virginia and other East Coast states. Five beached dolphins were found in Virginia alone on Thursday. In July, nearly four dozen dead dolphins were found, mostly in Norfolk and along the southern part of the Chesapeake Bay. That's up from the typical six or seven usually picked up in July by the Virginia Aquarium Stranding Response Team. (AP Photo/The Virginian-Pilot, Dorothy Edwards) MAGS OUT
