The present database represents the situation of strandings of dolphins along the Romanian coast during 2010 and 2012. The data were collected from the entire Romanian coast, from Sulina to Vama Veche.

More than 1220 strandings of Black Sea cetaceans have been recorded on the coasts of Crimea peninsula during the period from 1989-2010.

Data of whale stranding monitored since 1913 in waters of England and Wales.

Our objective was to document cetacean species presence over time along the mainland coast of Portugal through the use of historical written records of strandings.
