Marine Debris - The Fifth Strand

During the marine debris workshop at Woodshole, participants were invited to view the host - Michael Moore's - autopsy facility where he examines stranded cetaceans. 

Now I know some of you may find this macabre but if you would like to know what a state-of-the-art facility large enough to cope with quite large whales (e.g. pilot whales) looks like, pan on down.
