“If anyone spots the dolphin in the area then we ask people to keep their distance, not crowd around, and not attempt to interact with it,” the organisation said.
The entanglement could have prevented the animal feeding, which could cause complications once the pressure was released, “similar to a tourniquet”, it added.
The BDMLR said it would continue to monitor the animal as sightings were reported and a plan would be made if further intervention was required, “depending on the circumstances”.
