Description:The National Marine Fisheries Service’s (NMFS) Large Whale Emergency Response Best Practices was developed to standardize procedures and roles to enhance large whale stranding response for both live and dead whales through improved coordination and communication. Additionally, much of the information found in this Best Practice is applicable or can be scaled when responding to larger odontocetes (e.g., beaked whales). Additional guidance for these species may also be found in the Small Cetacean Intervention and the Cetacean Mass Stranding Response Best Practice documents. This Best Practice was developed to guide the response to an emergency involving one or more of these whales in the waters and on the shores of the United States.
