Every year around 600 porpoises, dolphins and whales (collectively known as cetaceans) strand around the UK coast. Why do these stranding events occur and what role does bycatch (accidental entanglement in fishing gear) play?
Watch online and join us behind-the-scenes at the Zoological Society of London for the opportunity to see a porpoise post-mortem, revealing the important work of the Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme (CSIP).
