Oiled Wildlife
Response
Instructors
Chris Battaglia and Lana Emo, Focus Wildlife
Course Description
Oiled wildlife response is a multidisciplinary and complex component of oil
spill response. Protocols based on best available science, and guidelines
based on wildlife responder expertise and regulatory requirements are
available to help facilitate oiled wildlife response; however, there are a
number of additional components that must be incorporated into planning.
These components
include Wildlife Branch development and active inclusion into the ICS,
proactive industry-based contingency planning, training and exercising,
facility availability and preparation, and regional resource capacity
building. In all, incorporation of these components into the industry’s
overall oil spill response strategy will provide the most effective
platform for successful oiled wildlife response efforts.
The Oiled Wildlife

operations within the above context.
