How is the system working so far with the oiled wildlife calls in Florida – for example the Pelican in Destin and the Northern Gannets?
The system is constantly improving as the public and Florida wildlife rehabilitators are aware of and utilize the Oiled Wildlife Hotline 1-866-557-1401 for reporting oiled wildlife. Multiple efforts by state and federal wildlife agencies and wildlife rehabilitation organizations are being made to inform rehabilitators and the public that for human health and safety, as well as wildlife health and safety reasons, the rescue and rehabilitation of any oiled wildlife must be a coordinated effort.
