stranding response

A stranding response is a coordinated effort by trained teams to assist and rehabilitate animals, like whales, dolphins, and seals, that have become stranded on beaches or in shallow waters. When these animals are found in trouble, specialists assess their health, provide emergency care, and work to safely return them to deeper water if possible. The goal is to reduce stress, prevent injury, and give the animals the best chance to recover and re-enter their natural environment. These efforts often involve experts in marine biology, veterinarians, and rescue organizations working together efficiently and compassionately.
