Stranded dolphin improves - Local - SunHerald.com: "GULFPORT — The young bottlenose dolphin rescued from Gulf Shores, Ala., after apparently being beached by Tropical Storm Ida on Nov. 10 is in stable, but not wonderful, condition at the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Gulfport.
Now in its third week of treatment, the dolphin is being held in standard 30-day quarantine to protect it from new germs. Staff and visitors to his climate-controlled tank enclosure first dip the soles of their shoes into a shallow basin of disinfectant."
