8/12/2008- As many of you know, a pod of 12 to 15 dolphins has been frolicking in the Navesink River for the past several weeks. Unfortunately, some people’s enthusiasm to get a glimpse of the mammals has lead to increased incidences of harassment. Baykeeper wishes to assure that neither humans or dolphins are injured and we want to remind you that Federal law requires that boaters, kayakers and personal watercraft stay at least 50 yards away from the dolphins or risk a $10,000 fine. We must respect these wonderful creatures and view them from a safe distance.
The Baykeeper's mission is to protect, preserve, and restore the ecological integrity and productivity of the Hudson-Raritan Estuary - the most urban estuary on the planet. Since 1989, we have served as citizen advocate for the Estuary's bays, streams, and shores. Baykeeper stops polluters, champions public access, influences land use decisions, and restores habitat - benefiting the natural and human communities of our watershed.
