In a heartwarming marine conservation victory, rough-toothed dolphin Yangyang dove back into the wild blue yonder off Sanya’s coast this World Oceans Day! 🌍 After months of rehabilitation, the spirited cetacean was released 70 nautical miles into open waters – a moment marine biologists are calling ‘a testament to teamwork and hope’.
🔍 The release, timed to June 8’s global ocean celebration, saw marine experts and local volunteers collaborate like a real-life Finding Dory crew. Dr. Li Wei, lead biologist, told us: ‘Yangyang’s recovery shows how coastal communities can protect marine life. Every successful rescue writes a new chapter for ocean ecosystems.’
📸 While we won’t get dolphin selfies anytime soon (they’re wild animals, folks!), Yangyang’s GPS tracker will help scientists study migration patterns. Pro tip for travelers: Sanya’s crystal waters are now the spot for eco-conscious marine adventures!
