    What to do if you encounter a stranded Marine Mammal in New Jersey:
    * Immediately call the Marine Mammal Stranding Center: (609) 266-0538, the local coast guard, or the police.     Keep yourself, as well as other observers, a minimum of 100 feet away from the animal. Never harass or irritate the animal - IT IS AGAINST THE LAW!
    * Only MMSC staff should carry out the removal of a marine mammal or sea turtle.
