I oversee the operation of a volunteer network which responds to all marine mammal strandings along the Texas coast. In 1994, the Network recovered a record 300 dolphins. This non-profit organization undertakes detailed pathological and toxicological examinations of all fresh dead animals to attempt to ascertain cause of death and levels of any contaminants. Live stranded animals are rehabilitated and released, whenever possible. We are also involved in studies to determine the ages of all stranded animals, genetics, milk composition, anatomy, body condition, and movement patterns of released, rehabilitated animals using satellite telemetry.
