HORN ISLAND, Miss. - Federal wildlife officials are treating the deaths 
of six dolphins on the Gulf Coast as oil-related even though other 
factors may be to blame.
Blair Mase (MACE') of the National Marine Fisheries Service said Tuesday 
that the carcasses have all been found in Louisiana, Mississippi and 
Alabama since May 2. Samples have been sent for testing to see whether a 
massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico helped kill the dolphins.
Mase and animal rescue coordinator Michele Kelley in Louisiana said none 
of the carcasses has obvious signs of oil. Mase also said it's common 
for dead dolphins to wash up this time of year when they are in shallow 
waters to calve.
The Associated Press found dolphins swimming and playing in oily waters 
off Louisiana last week.
