Dolphins Have Appeared Once Again In The Shrewsbury River


Six dolphins have been spotted in the Shrewsbury River and wildlife officials are trying to determine if they are part of a group of dolphins that showed up last summer in the same river.

Last June 16 dolphins appeared in the river and stayed for months, six eventually died and the rest are unaccounted for.

Photos were taken of the dolphins that appeared in the river Sunday and are being compared to pictures of last year’s group of dolphins.

“There is that possibility that they survived and came back again, but we won’t know that until we see the dorsal identification”, says Bob Schoelkopf, Director of the Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine.
