如何幫助活體擱淺的海洋動物
How to Help a Live-stranded Marine Animal
如你發現有海洋生物擱淺，請即致電 1823 通報個案。收到政府通知後，「海洋生物擱淺
行動組」將會立即採取行動。其中，由於鯊魚無法在陸地存活太久，如遇擱淺必須儘快放
歸大海；而鯨豚由於能夠在離開水面後存活較長時間，因此行動組的首要任務是為其即場
評估身體狀況及進行醫學檢查，以找出擱淺原因。健康的鯨豚會在完成上述行動後立即放
歸大海，而身體狀況較虛弱的則需要先接受治療，再放歸大自然。
If you fi nd a live stranding marine animal, please report the case by calling 1823 immediately. After receiving the report
from the Government, the Marine Life Stranding Response Team will initiate a rescue for the stranded animal. Stranded
sharks must be returned to the sea as soon as possible, since they cannot live out of water; however, since dolphins
and whales can survive out of water for longer periods, on-site evaluations of the animal's physical condition and
medical examinations are paramount to identify the reason behind the stranding. Healthy individuals are returned to the
sea immediately after the operations. For animals in poor condition, follow-up treatment is required before they can be
released back to the wild.
