5 Remaining Dolphins Feared Dead

Bob Schoelkopf, co-director of the Marine Mammal Stranding Center fears the remaining 5 dolphins may be 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.
