Wayward N.J. dolphins move to different river
RED BANK, N.J. (AP) - July 16, 2008 The marine mammals have been feeding on fish in the Shrewsbury
River near Red Bank for the past few weeks.
Federal environmental representative Teri Frady said Wednesday
that wildlife officials saw the dolphins during the weekend in the
connecting Navesink River.
Frady says that area is more remote and fewer people will bother
the dolphins there. Authorities have issued 11 citations for
harassing the dolphins.
An estimated 8 to 12 dolphins were in the Navesink over the
weekend, down from 15 in the Shrewsbury earlier. It's unclear
whether the others are back in the Atlantic.
