The Cornwall Wildlife Trust Marine Strandings Network run a new initiative which aims to develop a scientifically acceptable method of identifying bycatch evidence on the beach without need for a post mortem examination.
The Cetacaen Bycatch Evidence Evaluation Project (BEEP) is really as important as DEFRA don't fund as
many post mortems as they used to. Therefore it is very hard to |
|
determine cause of death for these beautiful creatures which is something we need to establish in order to prevent it happening. Ruth Williams of the Cornwall Wildlife Trust tells us that our donation has helped buy a freezer to store dolphins in whilst awaiting post mortem - this means that more cetacaens reach post mortem stage. Also it has enabled essential equipment to be provided for the volunteers.
You may have heard about the mass dolphin stranding in Cornwall in June 2008 - it was a desperately sad and tragic event; 26 dolphins died which was a real shock to us all both in Cornwall and further afield across the UK. The CWT Marine Strandings Network has been heavily involved with investigating why these strandings occurred and what can be done to prevent a similar thing from happening in the future.
Here at Frugi we are really proud to support this local initiative through our 1% for the Planet Membership.
