This Project Grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Marine Mammal Data Program (CFDA 11.439) provides $157,795.00 to the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) for a one-year period from November 1, 2025 to October 31, 2026. The key products and services to be delivered include: Capacity building for the U.S. Marine Mammal Stranding Network to improve their ability to respond to and provide short-term care for live stranded cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises). This includes providing hands-on training opportunities for network members in areas such as safe handling, supportive care, clinical skills, and euthanasia. Continued operation of IFAW's Cetacean Intensive Care Unit on Cape Cod to provide rehabilitation services for select stranded cetaceans, with the goal of improving disposition decisions and post-release survival. Collaboration with researchers to test and further develop a diagnostic tool called the "CetaSpiro Spirometer" to better evaluate respiratory health in stranded cetaceans, in order to improve health assessments and disposition decisions. The overall objectives are to enhance the preparedness and response capabilities of the Marine Mammal Stranding Network, provide critical short-term care for select stranded cetaceans, and advance the use of new diagnostic technologies to support better medical decision-making for stranded marine mammals.
