The dolphin rescue comes in at No. 70 in the Headline Surfer® countdown of the top 100 stories of 2013.
Meade and several others stayed with the sea mammal until members of the Volusia County Marine Mammal Stranding Team arrived and were working into the early evening hours Nov. 7 to stabilize the dolphin while waiting for SeaWorlds personnel to arrive and transport it to its rehabilitative facility in Orlando where it was cared for before expected release back into the Atlantic Ocean.
