According to staff of the Aquatic Wildlife Protection Station of Hainan province, if we come across similar circumstances, we need care the porpoise or other mammals appropriately and wait professional rescuers. The right nursing way is as following: Carrying the mammal out of the waters, covering its body with wet towel, showering it every two minutes to avoid dehydration. For porpoise belongs to mammal, it breathes with its lung, therefore, any water or stuff should not get access into its breathing holes. Further, the porpoise's body should be covered with something to avoid sunshine, otherwise, the dehydration it lead to is hard to cure. The last but not the least, witnesses should also call fishery sectors in the first place.
