Harbor Porpoise Unusual Mortality Event

Harbor Porpoise calf

 

Since 2006, harbor porpoises have been found stranded on
beaches in Washington and Oregon at an unusually high rate, prompting
the National Marine Fisheries Service to declare an Unusual Mortality Event for
these animals.


We are very interested in investigating all porpoise
strandings. Please report any sightings of porpoises (live or dead)
immediately. Please call 541-270-6830 or 1-800-452-7888.
