Abstract
This is a primer on factors to consider when dealing with marine mammals that are found in unexpected areas such as in river inlets.
Description
The exact approach for dealing with such situations will be case-specific and multiple factors have to be considered before a decision can be made to return animals to offshore waters. Expert advice must be sought and appropriate permissions obtained.
