Report a Stranded or Injured Marine Animal
Reporting a sick, injured, entangled, stranded, or dead animal is the best way to make sure professional responders and scientists know about it and can take appropriate action. Numerous organizations around the country are trained and ready to respond. If you see a sick, injured, stranded, or dead marine mammal or sea turtle, immediately contact your local stranding network (phone numbers provided below).
You can also use our Dolphin and Whale 911 app to report a stranded marine mammal. The app is available for Apple devices.
The public should report all sightings of stranded animals to the appropriate contact number for your location (select your region below). If you see a stranded marine mammal or sea turtle, keep people and pets back a safe distance of at least 50 yards (150 feet).
