Jersey Harbour dolphin goes in search of deeper waters

Volunteers in Jersey are looking for a dolphin, which had been swimming in the harbour for more than a week.

The Common dolphin has not been seen since yesterday morning and it is thought she might have found her way out, having gone in search of deeper waters.

The public are being asked to keep an eye out for the animal, in case it gets into any difficulty and ends up stranded on one of the Island's beaches.

Donna de Gruchy, Jersey Co-ordinator of the British Divers Marine Life Rescue, has thanked Islanders for their care, and for efforts to keep the harbour calm and peaceful while the dolphin was there.
