Coney island creek

"This was old-school style dumping: right into the water."

Ali and I were standing in leaky wader boots, ankle-deep in Coney Island Creek at 10:00 p.m. on a recent Wednesday.

The wayward dolphin of Coney Island Creek has swum back to the safety of the ocean, police say.

Police and harbor patrol are trying to rescue a dolphin who is stuck in a creek in Brooklyn.
