The stranding locations extend from the eastern border of Taylor County, Florida through Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Upon investigation by NOAA Fisheries and partners, the UME was defined as beginning on February 1, 2019 and was declared closed as of November 30, 2019. This dataset was created for the purposes of mapping. onGoing asNeeded Bottlenose Dolphin Stranding Unusual Mortality Event theme Gulf of Mexico place DOC/NOAA/NMFS/OPR > Office of Protected Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

To understand the health of marine mammal populations, scientists study unusual mortality events. Understanding and investigating these events is important because they can serve as indicators of ocean health.
