A dolphin washed ashore at Heckscher State Park in East Islip over the weekend.
The Atlantic Marine Conservation Society says its team responded to a Risso’s dolphin calf.
The group says it is not completely uncommon to find that species of dolphin in Long Island waters, but they typically prefer deep and offshore waters.
