LAURENCE HARBOR, N.J., Dec. 23 (UPI) -- A striped dolphin died Tuesday stranded on the New Jersey shore of Raritan Bay a day after being rescued from a nearby beach.
The dolphin was one of three stranded at Sandy Hook Monday, The (Newark) Star-Ledger reported. One of the three died, but the other two were returned to the ocean by rescuers from the Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine, N.J.
The three dolphins were not from a pod of bottlenose dolphins that has been living in the Navesink River a few miles south for months, defying all efforts to encourage them back to sea.
Striped dolphins are generally deep-sea animals, said Robert Schoelkopf, director of the stranding center. He said that Raritan Bay, which is bordered by New Jersey and the New York City borough of Staten Island held an unusual collection of marine animals after recent storms, including the striped dolphins, a green sea turtle and a seal.
Woodbridge Police Capt. Robert Weiss said that local volunteers and emergency workers made "heroic" efforts to save the dolphin after its second stranding.
