MANATEE THAT CAME ASHORE IN MIDDLE TOWNSHIP MAY HAVE BEEN CAUGHT IN COLD WATER

A manatee that was found dead on a Delaware Bay beach in Middle Township this week may have swam outside of warm water and eventually succumbed to colder ocean water.  The Marine Mammal Stranding Center is investigating the unusual discovery of the manatee that was found dead on the beach.  Biological tissue samples have been removed for evaluation.
