To understand the health of marine mammal populations, scientists study unusual mortality events. Understanding and investigating these events is important because they can serve as indicators of ocean health. To fill this role, NOAA Fisheries established the Working Group on Marine Mammal Unusual Mortality Events in 1991. The working group was formalized in 1992 with amendments to the MMPA amendments. An UME is determined to be "unusual" by the working group if it meets one or more of the seven criteria. The Unusual Mortality Event involving humpback whales along the Atlantic coast started January 15, 2016 and is currently active. The event is being investigated by NOAA Fisheries and partners and was defined as occurring along the Atlantic coast of the United States from Maine to Florida. The purpose of this dataset is to visualize the spatial distribution of the UME's dead animal locations.
