Team paged 12:15 to a dolphin washed up at Caerthillian Cove, Lizard.
The team provided location, injuries and pictures to the @BDMLR who attended.
Sadly the dolphin was too injured and malnourished to survive and a vet a was called to put the animal out of its suffering.

[Mullion Coastguard @MullionCG]

Another big leap forward for our team's capabilities: we are now carrying our own AED (defibrillator) in our vehicle.

Always having a defib with us saves us relying on community devices and can dramatically speed up how quickly we can help a casualty in need.

Amazing outcome to a shout we went to earlier this week.
