Dolphins, whales, sea lions, and turtles are being stranded on the beaches of Cape Cod, with the cause attributed to changing tides. The International Fund for Animal Welfare is leading the rescue efforts, with a success rate of around 70-80% for stranded live dolphins. The organization is also working to save 'cold-stunned' turtles, which are exposed to rapidly cooling waters. The Gulf of Maine is warming faster than 99% of the world's oceans, causing animals to travel farther north and end up in Cape Cod." ] ], "content": "nostr:nprofile1qyd8wumn8ghj7ctjw35kxmr9wvhxcctev4erxtnwv4mhxqpq2qj8ax6yyu2udvjcpulpdnet77avt0ypz0tecyygevehtlxzkcrqtkfw9w\nhttps://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/0031dbef4be9903ae7cc5920bd3f2dd77ab04870/0_0_3600_2161/master/3600.jpg?width=140\u0026quality=85\u0026auto=format\u0026fit=max\u0026s=11ad2f8af28c645b827bf0497adab580\nChanging tides have led to an increase of beached marine life, whom rescuers scramble to save before they dieWhile Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is known as a popular vacation destination in the north-east US, it has built a reputation for an entirely different reason this year: animal strandings.Dolphins, whales, sea lions and turtles are turning up in large numbers on the beaches of the famous peninsula in a phenomenon that has experts scrambling to execute more rescue operations than ever before.
