More than 250 dolphins were beached and died late last week on Boa Vista, one of the islands of the Cape Verde archipelago, the country's maritime administrator said on Tuesday.
"Unfortunately 265 dolphins perished," Nadir Almeida told AFP, adding it was too late to save them by the time they were discovered.
The dolphins died overnight Thursday.
"We think that they spent several hours without being noticed," he said. "We could not do anything," he said.
