Story summary
- Nearly 30 dead dogfish sharks washed ashore along a 10-block stretch of Sea Isle City beach Wednesday morning.
- Stephen Nagiewicz of Stockton University said the sharks, usually in schools of hundreds, were likely bycatch discarded by fishermen, not water contamination.
- A New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection spokesperson said sharks can be trapped as the tide recedes and that the agency will not investigate because the event is not unusual.
