Stranding and response data from 2024

MERR was incredibly busy during 2024, with a total of:

• 6 Dolphins

• 3 Whales

• 44 Seals

• 25 Sea Turtles

With increased boat traffic in the Delaware Bay area, the increased size of the seal colony, a larger volume of people on Delaware beaches throughout the year, and a host of environmental issues, the need for response has increased and the work done by MERR could not be more important.
