(WSVN) &#8211; Newly released body camera and drone footage shows marine officers racing to <a href=\"https:\/\/wsvn.com\/news\/local\/miami-dade\/dolphin-rescued-north-bay-village\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">save a dolphin struggling in Biscayne Bay<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dolphin was caught in what was believed to be a net. Neighbors witnessed the sea animal in distress and called for help.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within minutes, North Bay Village Police, along with Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office Marine Unit deputies, were on the water.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI see the rope,\u201d said an officer. \u201cI\u2019m going to go way up ahead and go sideways so maybe he won\u2019t go that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Resident Ahmed Raul Perez Prieto, founder of ARPP Air Studio 26, said in Spanish that he was looking through his apartment window and noticed the dolphin acting strange. He used his drone to get a closer look.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe wasn\u2019t swimming right. When I looked closer, I saw he had something on his tail,\u201d said Perez.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perez utilized his drone to help guide authorities to the dolphin. He believes it might\u2019ve ended tragically if someone hadn\u2019t intervened soon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe was sinking; he couldn\u2019t keep floating because whatever was holding him down was heavy and it was sinking him. If the police hadn\u2019t come, he probably would have died,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Authorities located the stuck animal and jumped into the water.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIs he attached? Is he attached?\u201d asked a concerned officer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a few moments, officers freed the sea creature. Drone video by Perez captured the dolphin swimming away safely as the officers cheered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEnd of call. Dolphin saved,\u201d said an officer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Bay Village officers said the dolphin appeared uninjured.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 Sunbeam Television Corp.
