New Jersey Marine Mammal Stranding Network

The New Jersey Marine Mammal Stranding Network is an organization that monitors and responds to stranded marine mammals, such as whales and dolphins, along New Jersey’s coast. These animals may become stranded due to illness, injury, or environmental factors. The network consists of trained volunteers and professionals who rescue animals, collect data, and work to understand the causes of strandings. They also educate the public about marine wildlife and conservation. By responding to these events, the network plays a crucial role in protecting marine mammals and promoting the health of ocean ecosystems.
