It seems weird to think or say it. Yet, here it goes anyway. At one point and time, there were hundreds of whales in New York Harbor and Sandy Hook Bay; and right along the Jersey Shore.

It is hard to imagine our coastline being anything different than what it is right now. A largely sprawling landscape with poor development practices of townhouses, parking lots, beach clubs, and marinas jam-packed together block by block. How could giant whales navigated through a maze of toxic waste, construction rubble, old pilings, and massive tanker ships?
