<\/br>\n\n\nThis data layer represents marine mammal strandings in Virginia, 2018. The strandings data appear in tabular form (Table 1) in the VAQF Scientific Report Volume 2019 No. 01, 'Virginia Sea Turtle & Marine Mammal Stranding Network 2018 Grant Report - A Final Report to the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program Department of Environmental Quality Commonwealth of Virginia NOAA Grant NA17NOS4190152, Task 49' (A.M.

<\/br>\n\n\nA total of 108 marine mammal strandings were recorded during 2018.\n \n \n\nMarine mammals are divided into five data groups for analyses. These data groups are: (1) bottlenose dolphin \u2013 the most common marine mammal in Virginia, (2) harbor porpoise \u2013 a common small cetacean that occurs in late winter and spring, (3) large whales \u2013 primarily baleen whales such as humpback, fin, right and minke whales, (4) other cetaceans \u2013 primarily oceanic species with low stranding rates such as pilot whales, pygmy and dwarf sperm whales, pelagic dolphins and beaked whales, and (5) pinnipeds \u2013 harbor, harp, hooded and gray seals.\n \n\n
<\/br>\n \n\nFor the purposes of the report, VAQS used the following definition: Sometimes marine animals wash ashore sick, injured or dead. At other times, they become entrapped or entangled and are unable to return to their natural habitats without assistance. These events are known as Strandings.\n \n\n
