Marine mammal stranding database

A Marine Mammal Stranding Database is a collection of information about instances when marine mammals, such as whales, dolphins, or seals, are found beached, stranded, or in distress on shores or nearshore areas. It records details like location, species, condition, possible causes, and recovery efforts. This database helps scientists and conservationists track patterns, causes, and health of marine mammal populations, aiding in research, response strategies, and policy decisions to protect these animals and their habitats.
