The National Stranding Network has its own branch, which is coordinated by GECEM, covering the French Mediterranean. The network is made up of local correspondents (mainly veterinarians, but also volunteers and government employees).
The Port-Cros National Park participates in the Stranding Network by making available its trained staff and two trailers for the collection stranded animal carcasses.
The two trailers are shared between the Alpes-Maritimes and Var departments.
