Sea Alarm and WWF Finland are among the POPCORN Associated Organizations – and solid experts in oiled wildlife response. Sea Alarm is also the coordinator of the EURopean Oiled Wildlife Assistance network EUROWA which pools the wildlife organizations and experts in Europe to advance the oiled wildlife preparedness and response in the region.

These organizations have come up with excellent manuals for those who are interested or already involved in oil spill response and oiled wildlife response:

• EUROWA: Part G – Basic oiled wildlife response manual (2016)
• WWF Finland: Oil spill response guide – Instructions for cleaning oiled shores [pdf] (2020)

Sea Alarm and WWF Finland are present in our Oil spills & Wildlife Protection webinar on Wednesday, 18 May 2022 (17.00 EEST). Welcome! In this webinar, we will hear why oil spills are such a threat to wildlife, especially seabirds, how to conduct oiled wildlife response, what were the consequences of Bow Jubail oil spill in 2018, and what the EUROWA network is all about. In addition, the oil vulnerability index of seabirds is introduced together with the interactive APP4SEA smart map.
