Abstract

Responding to her first whale stranding as a trained volunteer, marine biologist Dr Maddie Brasier spent up to 10 hours a day in the freezing water of Macquarie Harbour. She and a huge army of volunteers, as well as Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service and DPIPWE staff, saved 110 stranded pilot whales.
