Report a stranded whale or dolphin

Who to tell if you find a stranded whale or dolphin.

The UK Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme (CSIP) coordinate the investigation of all whales, dolphins and porpoises (collectively known as cetaceans), marine turtles and basking sharks that strand around the UK coastline.

The CSIP has been running since 1990 and is funded by Defra and the Devolved Administrations.
