Barrier islands off North Carolina; a coastal region of US importance
Conservation programs across the US and UK are expanding to protect shorebirds and raptors. Recent projects report rising populations and ongoing breeding successes, while communities focus on habitat restoration and responsible wildlife viewing.
Rescuers have contained a mass bottlenose dolphin stranding along Cape Cod. Most dolphins refloated with the tide, while several have died. Rescue teams tracked two tagged dolphins by satellite as they reunite into a single pod, offering hope for continued recovery. Authorities warn the public not to intervene.
