The Gowanus and other NY waterways have improved considerably over the last generation, but any cetacean that enters NY harbor probably has (as we used to say of acid casualties) a preexisting pathology. After three winters in Bay Ridge I’ve seen exactly one marine mammal, an unidentified porpoise or dolphin seen winter-before-last just east (i.e. oceanward) of the Verrazano Bridge.
