In the last 24 hours, in Brigantine, a dolphin washed up on the shore and a dead whale is floating offshore of Seaside Park and no one has an answer as to why so mammals have washed up dead on the shore.
"Why is this happening? I don’t understand. You haven’t heard of this in forever. And now? Now it’s happening once a week," Titus explained. "The dolphins, just last week, there was a dolphin that came up in Avalon, I heard. It’s terrible."
A dead porpoise also washed up on the north end of Brigantine Wednesday. And, locals who feel their opinions have been overlooked by Trenton on offshore wind farms remain skeptical of the underwater surveying. "Our first year, we had three sightings, for of a total of five whales. Now we’re getting 600 sightings a season," Paul Sieswerda, of Gotham Whale, stated.. But, the population has been increasing for more than 10 years. He’s done the research regarding warmer water, more food for mammals and more hits from ships. And, he says he’s grilled the windmill people.
"They are required by law to have an observer on board and shut down their operations when whales are in the area. If they don’t do that, they are subject to criminal penalties," Sieswerda said. If the science is right, underwater surveying would be one thing to stop. Global warming, leading to slightly higher water temperatures and more mammals in Jersey shore waters and shipping lanes, along with more ships in the waters near Philly and New York in recent memory? Those are different things entirely.
