Oiled Wildlife Care Network

WHAT WE DO

Oiled Wildlife Care Network

OWCN is built on the four principles of readiness, response, research, and reaching out.

Readiness

The OWCN is kept in a constant state of readiness for oiled wildlife events. More...

Response

Quick, expedient and effective action is essential to saving lives during an oil spill. More...

Research

The OWCN annually sponsors up to $250,000 toward research on the effects of oil on wildlife. More...

Reaching Out

Education and outreach to the public and scientific communities are a vital piece of the OWCN's activities. More...

OIL SPILL

This page will become the OWCN's home page in the event of an oil spill.

If members of the general public find any oiled wildlife, please contact 1-877-UCD-OWCN (1-877-823-6926).
