20 days ago another cetacean had stranded on the coast of New Jersey and two other whales in recent days on the coasts south of New York towards Atlantic City, so there are seven specimens dead in just over a month in New Jersey and New York.

Some lawmakers have called for a temporary pause in ocean-floor preparation work for offshore wind projects in the two states. The governor of New Jersey said he disagreed with this idea. Most environmental groups in New Jersey have called the association between deaths and offshore wind work "unfounded and premature."
