飓风艾达严重影响了路易斯安那州的人民，也对当地的野生动物产生了重大影响。一条海豚被困在排水渠之中的报道开始蔓延。

 

Hurricane(飓风) Ida greatly affected the people of Louisiana, but it had a major impact on local wildlife, too. Once the storm passed through the city of Slidell, reports that a dolphin was caught in their drainage(排水) canal began to spread. The poor creature needed to be rescued as soon as possible, and it would take a huge team to make it happen.

Multiple agencies came together for the rescue mission. In fact, this massive effort even earned a nickname, “Operation Free Flipper.” Some of the parties involved included NOAA Fisheries Service, the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies, and the National Marine Mammal Foundation.

They started off by having a group of rescuers use kayak paddles(皮划艇划桨) to create waves in the water. In doing so, they hoped to guide the dolphin toward a net. Thankfully, the frightened dolphin did exactly that! Once he was secure, they were able to get him in a water tank that was located inside a van. From there, it was time to examine the exhausted dolphin so he could hopefully be released back into the ocean.
