Marine Mammal Stranding Network

The Marine Mammal Stranding Network is a collective of organizations and individuals dedicated to responding to marine mammals, like whales and dolphins, that become stranded on beaches. When these animals are found beached or in distress, the network coordinates efforts to assess their health, provide care, and determine the cause of stranding. This initiative also involves research and education to better understand these events and promote marine conservation. It plays a crucial role in protecting marine wildlife and ensuring public safety while enhancing our knowledge of marine ecosystems.
