Sussex Inlet Dolphin Rescue
In September 2012 a young female dolphin became trapped in
Sussex Inlet on the south coast of NSW. Unable to return to the open ocean to
rejoin her pod she became very tame and began interacting with people. She
became so tame that the NPWS determined she was ultimately at great risk of
injury or at some point injuring someone else. A decision was made to relocate her and staff from Dolphin Marine Magic was asked to assist NPWS in capturing and returning her to the open ocean. This is the story of how that
happened.
