Peer-reviewed publications on the increasing frequency of emerging diseases, harmful algal blooms (HABs), and human interactions suggest a decline in marine mammal health. However, a literature review highlighted that these publications are not a reliable indicator of underlying health trends <a href=\"http:\/\/journals.plos.org\/plosone\/article?id=10.1371\/journal.pone.0142105\" data-link-type=\"external\" data-modal=\"disclaimer\">(Simeone et al 2015)<\/a>. The authors called for direct, near-real time access to centralized, standardized marine mammal health data. Beginning in 2014, the Marine Mammal Commission and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration\u2019s (NOAA\u2019s) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Office of Protected Resources in collaboration with a growing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmc.gov\/priority-topics\/marine-mammal-health-and-strandings\/marine-mammal-health-and-monitoring-analysis-platform-marine-mammal-health-map\/#partners\">number of partners<\/a> have been developing a nationally centralized, ultimately near-real-time, system for reporting data on marine mammal health called the Marine Mammal Health Monitoring and Analysis Platform (Health MAP).<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading-two\" class=\"heading-two\" id=\"vision\">Vision<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"graphic alignright\" data-modal=\"photo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3969\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mmc.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/Figure-1-3.4.1-1024x666.png\" alt=\"Conceptual diagram of Marine Mammal Health MAP framework showing links and feedbacks among research and observations focused on oceanography, ecosystem processes, and marine mammal health.\" width=\"520\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mmc.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/Figure-1-3.4.1-1024x666.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.mmc.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/Figure-1-3.4.1-300x195.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mmc.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/Figure-1-3.4.1-768x499.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mmc.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/Figure-1-3.4.1.png 1060w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><figcaption><p>Conceptual diagram of Marine Mammal Health MAP framework showing links and feedbacks among research and observations focused on oceanography, ecosystem processes, and marine mammal health.

Health MAP will provide online access to marine mammal health data collected through stranding events, and health assessments (among others) that can be visualized and analyzed in relation to environmental conditions such as sea surface temperature, salinity, and primary productivity. This will give the public, scientists, and resource managers an unprecedented ability to detect and communicate potential public and animal health risks in our changing ocean environment and to prioritize management and conservation efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Health MAP will provide:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A readily accessible, interactive tool to evaluate changes in marine mammal health by location, time and in relation to environmental data.<\/li>\n<li>Integrated marine mammal health data from a variety of sources including strandings, entanglement response, live capture-release health assessments and other research projects, fisheries bycatch, and subsistence monitoring.<\/li>\n<li>Marine mammal health data as data layers for integration with ecosystem and oceanographic data through a Web-based data portal\u00a0such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/ioos.us\/\">U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (US\u00a0IOOS)<\/a>.<a id=\"gulfmap\"><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"heading-two\" class=\"heading-two\" id=\"developing-health-map\">Developing Health MAP<\/h2>\n<p>Three projects have contributed key pieces over the past five years to the development of a national data management system and portal for Health MAP.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GulfMAP:<\/strong> In the Gulf of Mexico, a prototype database (known as GulfMAP) has been developed for Health MAP data and the first of five nationally planned data diplomats for Health MAP was established in the Gulf to support this project.

GulfMAP is being developed in partnership with NMFS, NFWF\u2019s Gulf Environmental Benefit Fund (GEBF), and the Gulf of Mexico Marine Mammal Stranding Network.
