Kenya Marine Mammal Research & Conservation

Bycatch

Commonly known as accidental catch, bycatch is possibly one of the major causes of the decline of inshore marine species in the South West Indian Ocean, including marine mammals, fishes and sea turtles.

Disentanglement

Marine mammal entanglement is becoming an increasing global problem with commercial fishing gears and gill nets used within the migratory corridors of whale species.

Stranding

Strandings or beachings, occur where a marine mammal, washes up on the shoreline or beach due to sickness, injury, disorientation, or death.
