5 Remaining Dolphins Feared Dead
The remaining 5 dolphins have not been seen since Thursday 1/15 and the rivers have frozen. The weekend prior they were seen in Sandy Hook Bay, only to return to the Shrewsbury River twice (once on Saturday, once on Sunday).
If anyone has seen them since last Thursday or has found any dolphin carcasses, please reach out to the contact info posted below in “Dolphin Sightings? Anyone?”.
Since no carcasses have been found, and they showed recent interest in leaving the river, I feel it’s entirely possible that they made it to the ocean. We may not know for sure until spring.

Ban Hunting on The Navesink / Shrewsbury Rivers
On a side note, I’d like to give a mention to the Navesink / Shrewsbury Rivers organization, Peaceful Rivers. They’ve proposed to ban bird hunting on our local rivers where the dolphins are, and with good reason.
River residents are given the morose task of disposing of the dead/dying birds who’ve wandered onto their property after being shot, and not recovered by its shooter. We can all agree that gunfire in your backyard is dangerous, let alone noisy and unnerving. There is an interesting article in today’s Hub on page 20 for more information.
Check out Peaceful Rivers blog. Please support them.
If you are interested in canvassing your neighborhood (on the Navesink / Shrewsbury rivers) with a petition to ban hunting, reach outwith a request to peacefulriver@verizon.net and you will be emailed one.
