Working towards better health for all those who rely on the sea.

New #openaccess paper on global #marinemammal #rehabilitation practices. If our goal is robust, healthy rehabilitation programs with strong impact for animals treated and their populations, we need common metrics to assess.

New paper alert!
Where is marine mammal rehabilitation happening? How do we know if it is actually being successful?

Once sea ice melts, helicopters are the way to find seals! 👇

[Dr. Michelle Shero @michellershero]

Now that the sea ice is melting and the seals are on the move, B-026 has started traveling by helicopter. Our seals have also been outfitted with radio tags ('pingers') that we can hear using antennas mounted on the helicopters.

You didn’t think that a chunky seal pup named CRISPR could be doing science, did you?

Read about the work @michellershero is leading in #Antarctica. Dr Shawn Johnson @SeaChangeHeal is down there now supporting the project. #marinemammals

Safe sedation protocols are critical to safe and effective field work with any species. A new paper describes the use of midazolam and butorphanol to safely immobilize Weddell seal pups.

Sea Change Health's Dr. Shawn Johnson is a co-PI on this project in #Antarctica.

Building healthier oceans starts with building capacity in the next generation of scientists, advocates, and health professionals. @CetaceanTeam from @UniPadova is world-renowned for their research and stranding response, and for training masters students from around the globe.

[SeaChangeHealth @SeaChangeHeal]

The @CetaceanTeam is an emergency response team that responds to marine animals along the Italian coastline.

[SeaChangeHealth @SeaChangeHeal]

Dr. Shawn Johnson teamed up with Dr. Nicola Pussini to teach a marine mammal anesthesia class, followed by a hands-on training on live cetacean stranding response as part of the Conservation Medicine of Aquatic Animals masters course through @UniPadova 📸@cetaceanteam

Amazing news rarely get retweets in here, but this is the amazing recovery of a sea lion named #cronutt

[SeaChangeHealth @SeaChangeHeal]

Almost a year and a half ago, Cronutt the sea lion received a transplant to treat the part of his brain damaged by domoic acid. Read about him in @NatGeo 👇

[Dr. Claire Simeone @Claire_Simeone]

Cronutt is thriving after his transplant from @NeurosurgUCSF and @BarabanLab. Read about his story in @NatGeo today, by @emilylmullin. #epilepsy #domoicacid @sixflagsDK @SeaChangeHeal https://t.co/sl8du6RiAw

[Dr. Claire Simeone @Claire_Simeone]

Read about #Cronutt’s story in @NatGeo. Neurosurgeons @NeurosurgUCSF and the @BarabanLab team gave this guy a new lease on life. @SeaChangeHeal
