About the Lecture

An Overview of the FAU Harbor Branch Marine Mammal Stranding and Population Assessment Program

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.
