NOAA Fisheries released the 2017 National Report of Marine Mammal Strandings in the United States. Marine mammals strand for a variety of reasons, and NOAA Fisheries tracks this data to monitor threats to wild marine mammal populations.
Annual summary reports of strandings of cetaceans (whales) and pinnipeds (seals and sea lions) that occurred in Alaskan waters and were reported to NOAA Fisheries, Alaska Region.
The primary purpose of this document is to summarize current information on health assessments for North Atlantic right whales and considerations for improving health assessments in the future.
Cook Inlet and Kodiak Marine Mammal Disaster Response Guidelines (CIKMMDRG) address disaster response activities specific to cetaceans and pinnipeds, such as oil spills, in the Cook Inlet and Kodiak regions of Alaska.
