More dolphins stranded on Cape Cod

By Amanda I. Bergeron, Globe Correspondent

Rescuers worked to save another eight dolphins found beached today on Cape Cod in the latest in a series of nearly 30 strandings since Dec. 29.

The Cape Cod Stranding Network was trying to help the eight Atlantic White-sided dolphins who were found struggling in shallow water at a beach off Chequessett Neck Road, according to a dispatcher for the Wellfleet Police and Fire departments.

Five of the stranded mammals were expected to live, the dispatcher said. Three dolphins were in critical condition.
