Dear MARMAMers,

My co-authors and I are pleased to announce our recent publication in Frontiers for Young Minds "Why Do Marine Mammals Strand on Land and How Can Humans Help?".
Boys R, Stockin K and Peters K (2023) Why Do Marine Mammals Strand on Land and How Can Humans Help?. Front. Young Minds. 11:901402. doi: 10.3389/frym.2023.901402#

We hope this paper, aimed at children and teenagers, will be an interesting educational tool, providing some background information on marine mammal strandings and information on what to do/ not to do in case of finding a stranded animal.  

It can be freely downloaded here: https://kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frym.2023.901402

Please do contact me if you have any questions.

Thank you very much,
Rebecca

On behalf of all the co-authors
