An adult dolphin that became stranded on the shoreline off Jockey Creek in Southold was euthanized Thursday, according to Charles Bowman, the chair of the board of directors for the Riverhead-based New York Marine Rescue Center.
A second sub-adult dolphin that had been seen with the adult Wednesday remains unaccounted for as of Friday, Mr. Bowman said.
“The other one is still out there,” he said. “It hasn’t been seen.”
