Unfortunately, I have to start this week off with some sad news. In the last week, at least 18 dolphins have washed up on New Jersey’s beaches. Eight of them have come ashore on LBI, andthey were already dead.

We had two in Holgate and one each in Barnegat Light, Ship Bottom, Spray Beach, Surf City and North Beach. Not sure where the eighth one came in. The marine mammals were all adults, ranging in size from 175 to 469 lbs.
