"The key is not doing something that's more likely to harm than help. We do listen to people's ideas, but we're not at the point where we feel we need to intervene." Brian Burnett of Howell said stopping construction on the Highlands Bridge
-- one of two spans the dolphins have stayed between for the past three weeks
-- could do the trick. The noise and vibrations from pounding and other construction work could be scaring the dolphins away from the bridge, which they would have to pass under on their way back out to sea. "That might be the only way to get them under there," he said. Giant nets were also on the minds of many along the riverbanks. "What if they took a big net that ran all the way from the surface down to the bottom of the river and used it to push them out of the river?" asked Ruth Kennedy of Lakewood. Anthony Forte of Union Beach also would use a large net. "Set a string of boats out there with nets and just work them out," he said. "I'd set up a big net so the dolphins couldn't go back."
