What do I do if I find an injured bird or a marine mammal on the beach?

If you come across any injured animal or sea creature on the beach, do not touch it or attempt to help it. The best thing you can do is notify the nearest lifeguard and they can contact the proper authority. If you do not see a lifeguard near by, call Jacksonville Beach Dispatch at 904-270-1661.
