About

Defra Network eTendering Portal awarded a contract to the Institute of Zoology for the Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme (CSIP), which collates, analyses, and reports data on all cetacean strandings around the UK coast.

The programme determines major causes of death, including by-catch and physical trauma, and undertakes surveillance of disease incidence to identify new threats to conservation status.

It also investigates interactions between feeding behaviour, fisheries, and stranded cetaceans through stomach content examination, records evidence of litter, and maintains a geo-referenced database accessible via the Internet.

The contractor provides quarterly information to the Department and Devolved Administrations and annual public reports, while improving relationships with regional volunteer networks and local authorities.

The contract value is AUD 1,461,054.
