Short note: the first confirmed successful refloat of a stranded bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) in Ireland and subsequent resighting with a neonate

Abstract

The article presents a study which discusses the refloating of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and the subsequent resighting with a neonate in Ireland.
