SEA ISLE CITY, NJ — After a "mass stranding event" of beached dolphins in Sea Isle City on Tuesday afternoon, all eight have died, according to the Marine Mammal Stranding Center.
A pod of eight Common dolphins stranded on the beach, with two already dead as of shortly after 1 p.m., the Center announced on Facebook.
"The remaining six dolphins were assessed by our veterinarian and their conditions were rapidly deteriorating," the Center wrote in an update at 3:20 p.m. The decision was made to humanely euthanize them, as returning them to the ocean would prolong their "inevitable death," they said.
All were taken to the NJ State Lab for immediate necropsies.
"We share in the public's sorrow for these beautiful animals, and hope that the necropsies will help us understand the reason for their stranding," the Center said.
The dolphins washed up on the 50th and 52 Street beaches, according to Sea Isle City officials.
They were found some time before 11 a.m. on March 21, according to a report by 6abc News.
NBC10 Philadelphia reported that people were throwing buckets of water onto the dolphins, who were seen moving as they were being cared for.
These dolphins are the latest in a string of marine mammal deaths at the Jersey Shore. Just last week, two dolphins washed up further north in Middletown. Read more: It Was A Mother Dolphin And Her Baby That Died In Middletown Last Week
Many believe that sonar activities by offshore wind companies are the cause of the marine mammal deaths.
However, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Department of Environmental Protection have denied these claims, citing a lack of evidence.

Official Cause of Death: COVID-19
for sea mammals with much more acute hearing than humans,I imagine low frequencies produced by offshore wind farms are equivalent to standing next to a parking lot full of Dragsters without any hearing protection. And they all start up unexpectedly at about the same time. you cannot flee fast enough and dont know which direction to run anyway, because its so loud all around you.
“returning them to the ocean would prolong their “inevitable death,”
Allowing unjabbed citizens to breathe, would prolong their inevitable death.
I see where this might be going.
Were they looking for Pookie?

When it comes to dumbass “wind farms”, dolphins are the eagles of the sea. The hippie enviros are trying to kill them all off.
That’s over half of the offense.
“However, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Department of Environmental Protection have denied these claims, citing a lack of evidence.”
There’s isn’t any evidence if you don’t look for it. Get off your lazy, bureaucratic butts, NOAA and do some research!

Darn, I thought they had a shot at a super bowl win. Oh well.
