In the early hours of July 16th, a pod of 55 long-finned pilot whales came ashore at Tolsta Beach on the Isle of Lewis. This short film shows a glimpse into some of the work undertaken by SMASS and colleagues following this mass stranding event.

From northern bottlenose whale necropsies in Fife, straight into Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival - now finally home, but still buzzing after spreading the word with SMASS chatting all things whale and dolphin with our top team #BellaWhales 🐋 #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #whoneedssleepanyway

Leaving behind Lewis after an intense week, that certainly was not part of the physio plan. MSE investigations are very tough in many ways- but made better when done with such an incredible team of lovely people generously donating time and expertise to help us ❤️ #teamwork
