Federal Officials Announce New Stranding Rescue Presence on Nantucket
2/13/18NOAA is announcing the return of marine mammal stranding coverage on Nantucket and two other islands.
Federal officials last week said “Marine Mammal Rescue Nantucket” is now an authorized stranding response organization after four years of no coverage on Nantucket, Tuckernuck and Muskeget islands.
The rescue network will respond to both live and dead whales, dolphins and seals, and assess and provide transportation for animals in need of treatment.
