NEW YORK—An unusual sight on the Hudson River off Chelsea Piers Thursday prompted a local marine research organization to investigate.
The sight was a dead dolphin.
The carcass turned up several days after local news media DNAinfo.com reported sightings of a dolphin swimming in the Hudson; though it was unclear if the dolphin was the same one.
“We won’t know if it’s the same dolphin until we match the dorsal fin,” Kimberly Durham, rescue program director and biologist with The Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research and Preservation, told DNAinfo.
