Marine mammal #strandings are obviously tragic events, but they can lead to some interesting and important discoveries too. If a #whale washes up on a beach near you, who ya gonna call?... #MarineMammals #MarineScience #WildlifeHealth #ScienceWeek
Well, although @janeo1000 will probably show up eventually, if you find a stranded cetacean (#whale or #dolphin) in NSW you should actually call the NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service on 13000 PARKS (1300 072 757), or the ORRCA rescue hotline on 02 9415 3333. 
In many cases Taronga's ARWH team will roll up their sleeves & get involved! That’s just what they do. If you’re interested in what @janeo1000 and @KarrieARose take to the beach, have a look at this Taronga TV clip:
If the #whale or #dolphin has sadly died, the team heads out with their giant #necropsy kit to determine the cause. #Plastic bags, fishing gear, #WildlifeDisease. They never know what they'll find, but the ARWH bring #WildlifeHealth #Science to the table & learn what they can
