Stranding Response Team

A Stranding Response Team is a specialized group that responds when marine animals like whales, dolphins, or seals are found stranded or distressed on beaches. They assess the animal’s condition, provide necessary medical care, and work to safely refloat or relocate them if possible. The team also collects data to understand why animals strand and helps prevent future incidents. Their goal is to ensure the health and safety of these animals while minimizing disturbance to their natural behaviors and environment.
