According to Storyful reports, Joli said she was was sad when finding the dolphin. She also encouraged people to be more mindful of fishing lines.
'It saddens me. This is a dolphin calf with fishing line that looks to be cutting into its tail fluke for a while, something that is preventable if we simply reel in the fishing lines rather than cut them loose,' Joli said, according to Storyful. 'Unfortunately, it is a very common occurrence I have seen too many times off the coast. I just wish more people can be more responsible by simply picking up any fishing line, rubbish they come across as this will greatly reduce the negative impact to our wildlife.'

According to Storyful reports, Joli was on a dive about 50 meters off the coast of the Perth suburb of Coogee when she spotted a pod of dolphins.

‘Like a giant whip': Cedar Point ride malfunction frightens parkgoers
SANDUSKY, Ohio (WJW) — What started as a fun Sunday night at Cedar Point quickly turned into a frightening experience for Ryan and his family. 'Me and my two daughters were next in line, standing directly below the drop towers,' Ryan said. 'I heard a twing type of sound—like tension being released—and then this giant cable came down. It was like slow motion.' VIDEO: Myles Garrett caught driving Ferrari at 100 mph on I-71 Ryan said a cable snapped on Cedar Point's Power Tower—an almost 300-foot-tall vertical drop attraction that towers over the middle of the park. 'I yelled, 'Oh my God!' It happened so fast. Then the cable hit the guard tower, and it sounded like the earth was coming to an end. That's when everyone started freaking out, scattering, and running,' he said. The park immediately evacuated riders and shut down the attraction. Thankfully, no one was hurt. 'That guard shack was 10 feet from us,' Ryan said. 'It was very close to being a bad situation.' According to Cedar Point, a single cable detached from one of the ride vehicles. A spokesperson said the ride's safety system worked as designed and all guests exited safely. New video: Police continue investigation into Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds shooting For many visitors on Monday, the incident was still on their minds. 'That's scary—you think about what could happen to people on these rides,' parkgoer Katrina Rueberger said. 'It also makes you wonder how often they test the rides, inspections and things that need to be done.' The Ohio Department of Agriculture's Amusement Ride Safety Division said it is investigating the incident. 'ODA's Amusement Ride Safety Division and its inspectors have placed a Stop Operation Order on the ride and are working with Cedar Point and the ride's manufacturer to determine the cause of the incident. The Stop Operation Order will be released upon a complete reinspection of the ride,' the department said in a statement on Monday. The ride will remain closed until a complete reinspection is finished. Jury acquits Cleveland activists of extortion, intimidation 'It broke from the top. Whatever the weight of a steel cable falling from 250 feet is, it was like a giant whip. It was scary,' said Ryan. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
