Several people took part in a dramatic rescue of more than 15 dolphins that were stranded onshore near Powell River after being chased onto land by a group of predatory orcas.

The rescue took place Monday, according to Susan MacKay, founder of Whales and Dolphins BC, a publication of the Wild Ocean Whale Society.

“The orca literally pushed them in closer and closer to shore,” MacKay told CTV News. “The orca was waiting all day, back and forth, as the dolphins were close to shore." MacKay says that once it became clear that the dolphins were stuck, people nearby rushed to help return the marine mammals to the ocean. Once the people became involved, many of them members of a local First Nation, the orcas appeared to lose interest and swim away, according to MacKay.“Originally there was a little bit more water in there so they tried pulling it out by the tail, which, of course, wasn’t the best method.

“[I’m] not sure who they were, I haven’t seen photos of the fins to ID them, but reports kind of indicated that it was a group of transients that we’ve seen in this area quite a bit lately,” she said.A large group of volunteers helped rescue 16 stranded dolphins that were stuck onshore while trying to escape predatory orcas:
