This NOAA National Ocean Service (NOS) website features contact information for reporting stranded marine mammals or floating dead whales in the Northeast US. The Northeast Regional Stranding Network is on alert for stranded animals that might be affected by the harmful algal blooms (HABs), such as the red tide event, and responders will sample any freshly dead stranded animals obtained from Maine to Massachusetts for biotoxins.
