Federal wildlife officials have declared an unusual mortality event (UME) for bottlenose dolphins in the mid-Atlantic region.
The move comes after an inordinate amount of dolphins have washed up dead or dying on the beaches of the East Coast. Examination of the dolphins has revealed that some of the creatures have has lesions on their lungs, which may point to a viral infection, though officials from NOAA Fisheries report that it is still too early to say for sure whether a morbillivirus is causing the unusually high number of dolphin mortailties.
