At approximately 14:55 local time on March 31st, a dolphin weighing around 200 kilograms became stranded on the mudflats of Bintang, Tongcheng District, Wenling City, Zhejiang Province. Local authorities swiftly mobilized for an emergency rescue operation, with firefighting, police, and fisheries departments collaborating to assist the distressed dolphin. In less than two hours, the dolphin was successfully returned to the sea.

Upon arrival, rescue workers found the dolphin stranded approximately 40 meters from the shore, displaying rapid breathing and severely dry skin. Utilizing foam pads, the rescue team relocated the dolphin to a water-rich area, ensuring its skin remained moist by periodically splashing water onto its body.

Gu Tao, one of the rescuers on-site, noted several minor wounds on the dolphin's back, indicating it was in poor condition. To alleviate its distress caused by prolonged stranding, rescuers gently patted and comforted the dolphin. With continued care, the dolphin gradually regained its vitality.

Using a multifunctional stretcher, rescue workers secured the dolphin and, with the assistance of foam pads, collectively pushed it onto a ferry after more than half an hour of effort.

To prevent the dolphin from re-stranding and aid its recovery, the ferry transported it to deeper waters, approximately 20 minutes away. Around 17:00 local time, three rescuers cooperatively returned the dolphin to the open sea.

"This rescued dolphin belongs to the Sousa chinensis species, a second-level protected animal in China, commonly found along the coast of Taizhou. Dolphin strandings on mudflats may occur due to disruptions in their biological navigation systems, coinciding with low tide periods," explained Ding Lifa, a researcher at the Wenling City Bureau of Marine Economic Development's Aquaculture Technology Extension Station.

3月31日14时55分许，浙江温岭市滨海团结北塘滩涂上，一只重约200斤的海豚搁浅。当地立即出动紧急救援，消防、公安、渔业等部门联合救助，不到2个小时，让身陷“泥潭”的海豚回归大海。
经了解，接到民众求助电话后，当地消防和公安率先赶到现场救助。当时，海豚在离岸边40米左右的滩涂上，呼吸急促，表面皮肤已非常干燥。随即，救助人员利用泡沫垫，将海豚转移到水源充足的区域，并且不时往海豚身上泼水，使其保持湿润。
参与现场救援的温岭市城东消防救援站副站长顾涛表示，当时海豚背部有多处坑坑洼洼的小伤口，状态不是很好。由于长时间搁浅，海豚受到惊吓，救援人员不断轻拍，安抚它的情绪。在大家的照顾下，海豚逐渐恢复了活力。
随后，温岭市海洋经济发展局工作人员到达现场。在他们的指导下，现场救助人员利用多功能担架将海豚固定，再利用泡沫垫，6人合力推了半个多小时，将海豚推至摆渡船上。
为让海豚恢复活力，避免二次搁浅，摆渡船开了近20分钟，将海豚运至深海区。当日17时左右，3名救助人员合力将海豚送回大海。
　“此次救助的是糙齿海豚，属于国家二级保护动物，常出现在台州沿海一带。海豚搁浅在滩涂上，可能是因为自身的生物导航系统出现了紊乱，同时恰好遇上退潮期。”温岭市海洋经济发展局水产技术推广站研究员丁理法说。
