Description

What happens when a stranding response team gets a call about a stranded animal? On this week's episode of Aquadocs, Dr. Michelle Greenfield-Feig interviews Sarah
Callan, animal rescue program manager at Mystic Aquarium, about her work completing necropsies on large whales and rescuing and rehabilitating stranded seals and sea lions. From training a full team of volunteers, organizing colleagues with large machinery, traveling to often hard-to-reach locations, and beating the impending weather, there is never a dull moment when it comes to stranding response. Plus, stick around to the end of the episode to hear the inspiring story of local favorite Shoebert the seal.
