UK Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme (CSIP)- strandings around the UK coast (1990-present)

The collaborative UK Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme (CSIP) has been running since 1990 and is funded by Defra and the Devolved Administrations. It coordinates the investigation of all cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises), marine turtles and basking sharks that strand around the UK coastline. Information is recorded on each individual stranding, with a proportion retrieved for systematic investigation at post-mortem to establish a cause of death, to gain a better understanding of the threats that these animals face in UK waters.英国协作式鲸类搁浅调查计划（Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme，缩写CSIP）自1990年启动至今，由英国环境、食品与农村事务部（Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs，缩写Defra）及英国地方分权行政机构联合资助。该计划负责协调对所有在英国沿海搁浅的鲸类（鲸鱼、海豚及鼠海豚）、海龟及姥鲨的调查工作。项目会记录每一起搁浅个体的相关信息，并抽取其中部分样本开展系统性尸检，以明确其死亡原因，进而深入了解这些动物在英国海域面临的生存威胁。
