Description
a database containing up-to-date details of seals, whales and turtles observed and stranded in the North Sea and the Scheldt estuary more
MUMM keeps a database containing up-to-date details of seals, whales and turtles observed and stranded. This database goes back to the middle ages, with some historical data on stranded whales. Information on observations and stranded sea mammals is important to determine the population these animals and how they are developing. Data were gathered by MUMM/KBIN in cooperation with different persons and institutions like Sea Life Blankenberge, J. Van Gompel, VLIZ, Institute of Nature Conservation, AMINAL, Bird Rescue Center Oostende and local authorities.
