2020-10-09 dut The database of stranded cetaceans in The Netherlands contains of records of whales, dolphins and porpoises, order Cetacea. All records concern strandings of single individuals (there are four exceptions: one of 3-6 sperm whales and three of 11-61 long-finned pilot whales). The electronic database was compiled from published records on strandings (see Literature) gathered since 1914 and is supplemented with data on a regular basis. It contains all records that have been presented to the respective managers of the database, and was started by A.B. van Deinse. Van Deinse and successors have added strandings from before 1914 as well and the oldest record thus far is a sperm whale stranded in 1255. Anno 2020, the database contains over 12,500 unique records of 26 species (among which five subfossil records of the nowadays extinct Atlantic population of grey whale Eschrichtius robustus and a few dozens of unidentified specimens). The database is considered to be fairly complete since 1914 regarding species other than harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena. Of the latter, records are up to date only since 1971. Harbour porpoise has always been resident species in Dutch waters and it was considered too common by Van Deinse – and records were too numerous – to collect data of stranded individuals until the late 1950s, when numbers were dwindling. Hence, records prior to 1971 are very incomplete, although records from the past are are added ad hoc. Nowadays, the database is updated at least once a week, and records are validated before they are entered. Individual records contain the Dutch and scientific name as far as animals can be identified (in several cases, stranded individuals have been identified only down to 'group' (e.g. 'small whale'). Identifications may be adjusted if new information becomes available. Included with every single record, apart from species name, are date and location of stranding, sex, length, state of carcass, storage of remains, autopsied or not, references, photographs, and name of finder/reporter, if appropriate. As of 1 January 2006 the database is freely accessible at www.walvisstrandingen.nl and managed by Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden, The Netherlands. With the publication of the www.walvisstrandingen.nl-dataset with GBIF, all data concerning Dutch strandings are better searchable and the full set, or a selection, can be downloaded. However, it is recommended to contact Naturalis if the data are used for research.

Walvisstrandingen.nl Guido Keijl curator Historical records are (have been) taken from publications, unpublished reports (e.g. letters, manuscripts, diaries), zoological collections, paintings, photographs et cetera. Records of cetaceans that strand nowadays are collected by oral or written reports received ad hoc by people visiting the coast. Records reported to other public websites are copied. Vital in keeping records updated is the network of voluntary co-workers that visit the beach. This network has been erected and is maintained by Seal Centre Pieterburen. Important in validating length and sex of a subset of cetaceans (i.e. the ones collected for research on the cause of death) is cooperation with the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Pathobiology of Utrecht University. All records of any sign of a stranded cetacean, also live strandings, carcasses of cetaceans brought in on the bulb of cargo ships, or loose skulls and bones, are included. Records of live sightings of cetaceans not stranded are not included. The database is updated at least once a week. Quality control. Individual records are assessed and validated by the database manager, preferably on basis of photographs. In case of doubt, observers are contacted by e-mail or telephone and asked for photographs and/or description.
