  abstract = {{C}ontext : {S}trandings are an important source of information for estimating marine mammal biodiversity, particularly in data-sparse ocean basins such as {O}ceania. {A}ims : {H}ere, we report on knowledge acquired from 218 stranding events recorded in the waters of {N}ew {C}aledonia (1877-2022). {M}ethods : {W}e investigated spatio-temporal distribution, stable isotope signatures, trace element concentrations, biometry measurements, genetic diversity, and diet, for the four most commonly stranded taxa (dugongs, 35% of events; sperm whales, 19%; {D}elphinidae, 18%; pygmy and dwarf sperm whales, 14%). {K}ey results : {B}eginning in 1991, reports of stranding events increased (183 events, 322 individuals, 20 species from seven families: {D}ugongidae, {P}hyseteridae, {D}elphinidae, {K}ogiidae, {Z}iphiidae, {B}alaenopteridae, {O}tariidae), with hotspots identified on the west coast ({B}ourail, {O}uano, {N}oum{\'e}a) and in {P}rony {B}ay. {C}auses of death were not determined in 84% of stranding events, but were identified in the majority of expert-led necropsies (24 of 29 individuals from 10 species). {Y}et, valuable information regarding the impact of anthropogenic activities was gathered for some species of concern, such as the endangered dugong (28% human-caused). {S}ince 2016, training and outreach have been provided to rangers, veterinarians, and various public safety officers to support their engagement in the scientific monitoring of marine mammal strandings. {A} website (www.rescue.ird.nc) was developed to facilitate standardised data collection and storage, and to provide public access to stranding records. {C}onclusion : {A}lthough the number of individuals reported here remains modest, this study provides new information on poorly documented species in {N}ew {C}aledonia. {I}mplications : {L}ong-term monitoring of strandings can help design effective conservation measures.},
