there are loads of “exotic” creatures which end up on UK beaches.

HM Coastguard, the Royal Navy and Defra CEFAS (Fisheries protection) have protocols for dealing with them.

Sadly many which end up too far towards shore do not survive because of pollution, but in most cases the govt agencies get vets to check them out and either return them to the sea, or sometimes arrange for them to be looked after in captivity at aquaria/zoos if they are rare and won’t make the return journey.

dolphin now caught and released back into the sea..

Trapped dolphin freed from marina
A dolphin which had been trapped in Maryport Marina for almost a month has been set free by rescuers. Marine life experts were worried that Marra, a bottlenose dolphin, was losing weight and decided to drain the marina and capture the animal in a net.
Experts then took Marra far out to sea and released the animal on Monday.
An attempt to coax Marra out into open waters using specialist equipment failed last week.

Tony Woodley, a spokesman for the British Divers Marine Life Rescue group, said the rescue was launched over concerns about the dolphin’s skin which had been bleached by salt water.

^^ there is a mistake in that report, it is of course fresh water which attacks the dolphins skin!
