Gulf Oil Spill: Experienced Wildlife Observers Needed
Accompany Beach Clean Up Crews on Panhandle Beaches
Audubon is pre-screening experienced wildlife observers to
accompany beach clean up crews. Cleanup activities pose significant
threats to wildlife and habitats and serving as a wildlife observer
is important work.
Official beach clean up crews responding to the oil spill will now
be required to have a wildlife observer accompanying them during
night work in the Panhandle, out of concern for impacts to beach
wildlife like marine turtles, shorebirds and beach mice. Observers
will be given hazardous material training as well as training in a
monitoring protocol, but will be required to have some background
in biology and conservation, either through practical field
experience in an academic or professional capacity, or through
coastal field volunteer experiences such as Bird Stewards or Marine
Turtle Patrol participants.
Qualified candidates will be sent to clean up organizers for
activities on sandy beaches from Escambia to Taylor counties. This
will be ongoing, paid work. To sign up, click here.
Thanks to you all for your willingness to help our wildlife weather
this disaster, and ensure clean up activities don’t have additional
impacts on wildlife beyond the effects of the oil itself. Right now
this opportunity is only available in the Panhandle, but should
clean up activities become necessary elsewhere in the state; we are
told future recruitment opportunities will become available in
those locations as well. Stay tuned.
