The locally iconic Port River dolphin, Rocket, was found dead last night.
Veteran dolphin researcher, Dr Mike Bossley, called Jo Laverty to tell her the cause of the injury.
“She’s a very well-known dolphin locally,” Dr Bossley reflected.
Marianna Boorman has been documenting Rocket’s life from the day she was born, and mother Ripple before that. “I am angry, and grief stricken”, she says.
