It is with great anticipation that we write to inform you all that the necropsy manual that Cape Cod Stranding Network and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution staff have been working on for the past 1.5yrs is finally complete and in print as a Woods Hole Technical document. It is titled Marine Mammal Necropsy: an introductory guide for stranding responders and field biologists. The PDF can be found at the link provided below where you may also download and print from. If anyone is interested in purchasing a hard copy, please contact Katie Pugliares directly at kpugliares@ifaw.org

We hope you enjoy the manual and find it useful.
