Description:

"This project evolved from joint effort and John H. Prescott Marine Mammal Rescue Assistance Grant Program awards to the Cape Cod Stranding Network, Inc. (CCSN) and the Virginia Aquarium Stranding Response Program (VAQS) where the authors proposed to develop a human interaction training program for the Northeast Region Stranding Network in the United States. At the time of the awards, there was no finalized national human interaction data sheet and the project transformed to include development of a data sheet, data sheet instructions, and a training program. Upon completion of the regional work, the authors proposed to the national stranding coordinator, Dr. Janet Whaley, to provide the training to all stranding networks in the United States"--Preface.
