A Dolphin's Return / SYF

A young Atlantic Spotted Dolphin (Stenella frontalis) is found alone, in distress, in a harbor in the Florida Keys and the Marine Mammal Conservancy rescue team is called into action. "Cutter," as he is called, is a juvenile and needs to be with a larger group of similar dolphins to survive in the wild. He is nursed back to health over three months at the MMC facility in Key Largo. Preparations are made to release him into a pod of wild spotted dolphins that include calves, juveniles and adults. The dedicated team from the MMC and many other volunteers help Cutter and return him to the sea!
