The murlocs are located upstream the river and to the northeast. They are easily spotted by their island-style huts, and the fins don't take too long to drop but the murlocs are very difficult to face alone at level 10. Tough quest imho.

The Stormwind Army has placed a bounty on murloc lurkers and foragers in Elwynn. Slaughter them and bring Guard Thomas their torn murloc fins, and the Stormwind Army will reward you well.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
