Volunteers with the UNCW Marine Mammal Stranding Program are a mix of undergraduate and graduate students, UNCW faculty and staff, and other members of our local community. We typically hold volunteer training meetings each month during the fall and spring semesters. Some of our trainings include introduction to the life history and identification of local marine mammal species, live and deceased stranding response skills, data collection protocols, and zoonotic disease pathogen safety.
