Since 1998, The Florida Atlantic University Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute (FAU Harbor Branch) Stranding and Population Assessment team has acted as a service operation to the Institute and the state of Florida. We respond to marine mammal strandings, assist with necropsies, participate in cetacean rescue events, perform monthly boat-based photo identification/population assessment surveys to collect data for scientific analysis at the Institute and across Florida and participate in outreach and educational activities. Steve Burton will discuss the stranding work we perform and review multiple case studies of dolphins and whales that we have responded to over the years.
