Beyond providing world-class care to stranded animals in need of rehabilitation, Mystic Aquarium's Animal Recuse Program conducts important scientific data collection on dead, stranded animals to help us understand what challenges they are facing in the wild.
Last week, the Animal Rescue Team and our partners investigated the death of a humpback whale that washed up in Little Compton, Rhode Island. By collecting data through a procedure known as a necropsy (similar to a human autopsy), we contribute to our understanding of an unusual mortality event (UME) of humpback whales. This information is evaluated by National Marine Fisheries Service and helps guide protections to conserve magnificent creatures. A tragic loss of a whale is a reminder that their environments are rapidly changing, and we must make every effort now to ensure a future for these incredible species.
