March has been a busy month for strandings, according to the IFAW. They have responded to about 45 this month. They say winter is always busier for strandings because tides and Wellfleet Harbor frequently disorient animals.
Anyone who sees a stranded animal is asked to call the IFAW at 508-743-9548 or visit their website.
