Hide AdA spokesperson for the Sussex Dolphin Project said: "We received a number of reports of a dolphin carcass on Worthing Beach on Monday morning and a member of our research team went to the location to gather any useful data.
"We identified the dolphin as a young male Bottlenose Dolphin at an advanced stage of decomposition making it difficult to determine the cause of death."
A spokesperson for Worthing's Coastal Office said operational waste has been asked to remove the dolphin’s body.
