However, in recent months several dead dolphins have been found along the shoreline near Kennedy Space Center and up to New Smyrna Beach. This may have been Loco was referring to.

Oh! That’s the Coryphanena hippurus. I should have know that.

Some of the GTG members have Florida addresses. Most people from Florida seem to refer to the "porpoise" as a "dolphin". It is also the official state saltwater mammal of Florida. We are so proud of that. So, I rushed to judgment. Sorry.
