What does marine animal response really mean?

**** Via MARS What does marine animal response really mean? Sometimes, it means helping a live animal in distress. Sometimes, it means investigating an animal that has died. In every case, it starts with understanding what is happening and determining the appropriate response. But the value of that response can extend far beyond a single incident. Every animal we examine, every observation we record and every sample we collect can add to our understanding of marine animal health, the threats these animals face, and what's changing in our oceans. Over the next several posts, we're taking you Inside MARS to explore a part of marine animal response you may not always see — how individual incidents contribute to a much bigger picture. One animal. One response. Part of something much bigger. Find them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/share/1Eq2XXqNXU/
