Two common dolphins were observed in the inner coastal waters of Chappaquiddick this week. The pair were observed swimming close to shore in an area known as the narrows, near the opening to Cape Pogue, north of the Dyke Bridge. On Thursday, a team of field volunteers working with the New England Aquarium watched the animals for five hours. By Friday morning, they were believed to have left the area.

Read more about the dolphins, and what they were believed to be doing in the area.
