New Zealand has one of the highest whale and dolphin stranding rates in the world.
Each year, an average of 300 animals strand on NZ’s shores. Most strandings are of individual animals, but mass strandings are not uncommon and can involve hundreds of animals at a time.
Project Jonah works on the ground to deliver essential first aid to stranded or injured marine mammals.
No matter what time of day or how difficult the conditions, they’re ready to offer lifesaving support. They are agile and adaptable – responding quickly and decisively in a crisis.
#Project #Jonah run a 24 hour hotline for people to call if they find a whale or dolphin in distress.

Volunteers learn how to rescue stranded marine mammals at Auckland beach.
A central-city Auckland beach has become an unlikely first aid station for #dolphins and #whales this weekend as part of a #ProjectJonah training programme.
The rescue group is using artificial whales and dolphins at Kohimarama beach to teach volunteers how to best care for, and hopefully save, stranded dolphins and whales this summer.
