Volunteer with us!

The Marine Mammal Stranding Network for the North Carolina Central Coast welcomes volunteers. Volunteers are needed for a variety of tasks: beach response, data recording, photography, sample collection, food preparation for responders during unusual events and other support activities.
If you live in the area (Carteret County) and want more information, contact Dr. Victoria Thayer at vgthayer@gmail.com!
If you are interested in helping the stranding network without attending workshops or necropsies, please see our wishlist below! We are in constant need of materials and supplies to aid in marine mammal response.
