The New York Marine Rescue Center (NYMRC) responds to sea turtles, seals, small cetaceans (dolphins and porpoises) in New York State. Many reports of sighted or stranded marine life come through the NY State 24-hour hotline number at (631) 369-9829. The public is encouraged to contact us with information including location, photos, and as many details as possible. It is important to remember that all of these animals are federally protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) and the Endangered Species Act (ESA), and you must maintain a distance of at least 50 meters (150 feet) away at all times.

I called news 12 they’re on the way hopefully that’ll prompt the other authorities to take it more seriously since I called everyone and all they could tell me was yes we got a lot of calls about it we made a report in the computer. I friggan hate people. This is why we can’t have nice things.
