Wildlife is particularly vulnerable to oil spills, and a well-prepared response can significantly reduce harm. A structured preparedness plan supports a coordinated, effective approach that aligns with regulatory expectations and environmental protection goals.
Our service includes wildlife response planning, training, stakeholder coordination, equipment recommendations, and regulatory compliance support—helping organisations strengthen their ability to respond effectively. These services are tailored based on factors such as geographical risks, regulatory requirements, and existing wildlife capabilities, and align with industry good practice.
Our collaborative approach is designed to address the wildlife response challenges unique to different parts of the world. OSRL works with Sea Alarm and GOWRS to deliver customised wildlife response preparedness solutions that meet the needs of individual companies, countries and regions.
Yes, wildlife response services are included as part of our core membership coverage. This service consists of technical advice from our partners at Sea Alarm, a four-person in-field response assessment team through the Global Oiled Wildlife Response System (GOWRS) - our wildlife partners, and response equipment specifically designed for the search, rescue, medical, cleaning and rehab needs of oiled wildlife.
Organisations in the oil and gas sector, shipping industry, port authorities, and environmental agencies that operate in sensitive or high-risk areas should integrate wildlife preparedness into their spill response planning.
