Atlantic Marine Mammal Stranding Network

The Atlantic Marine Mammal Stranding Network is a coordinated organization that monitors, responds to, and researches stranded marine mammals like whales, dolphins, and seals along the Atlantic coast. Its goal is to rescue live animals when possible, assess causes of strandings, and contribute valuable data to improve marine mammal conservation. The network involves trained volunteers, scientists, and agencies working together to ensure animal welfare, public safety, and to better understand these species and their health in relation to environmental changes.
