Marine Mammal Stranding Centers
Marine Mammal Stranding Centers are specialized facilities dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and research of stranded marine mammals, such as whales, dolphins, and seals. These centers work to provide medical care to injured or sick animals and often collaborate with local communities and organizations to respond to stranding events.
In addition to rescue efforts, these centers play a crucial role in educating the public about marine mammal conservation and the importance of protecting their habitats. They also conduct research to better understand the causes of strandings and the health of marine ecosystems, contributing valuable data to the field of marine biology.
