Stranded Pilot Whales getting human help in Florida Keys (Environmental News Network)

Wildlife experts and volunteers in the Florida Keys have rescued seven of a
group of pilot whales stranded in shallow waters and are using boats and a
helicopter to locate more of the animals, officials said on Friday. At least
three of the group had died after around 16 of the marine mammals became
stranded since late on Thursday in shallows and on flats in the waters off
Cudjoe Key, a labyrinth of mangrove-fringed islets in the Lower Florida Keys.
More than 100 people, including Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission officials and volunteers, backed by a flotilla of small boats and a
Coast Guard helicopter, were scouring the area looking for more of the beached
whales. "Every hour is critical," Karrie Carnes, a National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) spokeswoman who was at the scene, told
Reuters.
