East Coast Marine Mammal Stranding Network

The East Coast Marine Mammal Stranding Network is a collaborative effort among various organizations and agencies dedicated to responding to stranded marine mammals, such as whales, dolphins, and seals, along the East Coast of the United States. This network aims to investigate the causes of strandings, provide care for injured or sick animals, and facilitate their return to the ocean when possible. It also plays a role in public education, raising awareness about marine mammal conservation and the importance of protecting these species and their habitats. Overall, it helps ensure a coordinated response to marine mammal emergencies.
