TheWoWDBAfter you acquire this quest, make sure you talk to Marshal Dugham again. He will offer you to ride the Stormwind Charger for free as a much faster way to get to Guard Thomas for the quest.
I'm only mentioning this as I sort of breeze through quests and never read the text, I never noticed this till quite a while after Cataclysm launched and I started another human alt on a different realm.

The horse he lets you mount is one of the best in game imo. It used to be available to players in WotLK but was sadly removed. You can read more (and weep) here: Swift Alliance Steed.
Hes to the east of goldshire, jus follow the road to the bridge

Description
If you are concerned that the rumors of murlocs are true, then do this -- travel to the eastern Elwynn bridge and speak with Guard Thomas. He has been stationed at the bridge for the past week and will know the state of the area. I have here a Stormwind charger that will take you to Guard Thomas. Let me know if you wish to make use of the horse.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Fishy Peril
<name>, there's a new threat in Elwynn Forest! Murlocs are swimming up the streams of eastern Elwynn, scaring away fish and attacking gentle folk! I warned Marshal Dughan, but he's more worried about the gnolls and the bandits. He's not convinced that the murlocs are a danger.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Bounty on Murlocs
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.
