Dead dolphin spreads bad odour
A dead dolphin has been found at a coconut garden in Kuakata beach.
Due to this, bad smell is spreading in the area, polluting the environment. Local people, including tourists, urged the authorities concerned to remove the dead dolphin from the beach or to bury it.
About three months ago, a dead whale was found on the beach and local administration buried it there.
The 8-foot-long dolphin was stuck on the sandy beach about 600 metres east from Kuakata zero point, local fishermen said.
Some fishermen saw the dead dolphin on Wednesday afternoon.
Moazzem Hossain, a schoolteacher of Barguna town, said very bad smell is spreading from the dead dolphin as it is rotting.
It should be removed from the beach or should be buried on the sandy beach, he suggested.
Abdul Mannan, a local fisherman, said the dolphin might have died after it was tangled with hilsa net in the deep sea and came to the shore by floating with the surges.
Md Kamrul Islam, Kalapara upazila senior fisheries officer, said dolphin is often caught by hilsa net and dies.
Fishermen often throw dead dolphin into the sea as it has no market price, he said.
Contacted, Abdul Bareq Mollah, mayor of Kuakata municipality, said they are taking steps to bury it.
