"It's Not Snowflake!"
After the Marine Life Oceanarium was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, a desperate search attempt was made to find the missing dolphins that called the aquarium home. 12 days after the storm, the staff was able to use a boat owned by NOAA, and found the dolphins adjacent to the harbor where the Oceanarium was located! They were transported to pools at the Seabee Base in Gulfport, where they stayed for several months until they received a clean bill of health! (Full story link below)
