Oiledwildlife.eu provides an overview of the discipline of oiled wildlife response and preparedness. It aims to be a source of reliable and professional information that is helpful to professionals, media and the wider public. A special focus on European issues is embedded in a wider global perspective so that it is a useful resource not only for European based individuals but also a worldwide audience.


Oiledwildlife.eu was started as a product from a EU funded project in 2007 and since then has been powered by Sea Alarm.
