Report a Stranded, Injured, or Dead Sturgeon

The Sturgeon Salvage Program is a network run by NOAA Fisheries to help conserve Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon. Information regarding deceased sturgeon that wash up on riverbanks and ocean beaches is sent to NOAA Fisheries through this network. Numerous partners along the Atlantic coast are trained and ready to respond.  You can help us learn more by reporting any sturgeon you may come across. This allows scientists to collect samples and data to better understand sturgeon populations, track recovery efforts, identify threats to the species and fill in gaps in our knowledge.
