7th International
Effects of Oil on Wildlife Conference 2003
(information available through ibrrc.org)


14-16 October 2003
Hamburg Convention Center, Germany

The 7th International Effects of Oil on Wildlife Conference is being
held on October 14-16 2003 at the Hamburg Convention Center in Germany
and is co-hosted by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW)
and the International Bird Rescue Research Center (IBRRC), which work
together to co-manage IFAW's oil spill work.

It is a multidiscipline conference to examine how best to mitigate the
effects of oil pollution on aquatic wildlife. It is planned as a forum
for those working in fields related to oil pollution and its impact on
wildlife.

The specific aim of the conference is to facilitate an exchange of
information among peers; biologists, veterinarians, rehabilitators,
government agencies, environmental NGOs and any other individuals or
organizations interested in improving the planning, prevention and
response to oil pollution impacts on wildlife.

Conference themes:

1. The challenges of cooperative cross-border planning and response
2. The problem of chronic oiling
3. Evaluation and post-release studies

Planned sessions include:

* Resources at risk
* Planning and prevention
* Rehabilitation: Management and techniques
* Wildlife response case histories; Prestige, Tricolor, etc

Background to the Conference
Each year, thousands of aquatic birds and other animals are impacted
by oil pollution, some from catastrophic oil spills such as the
Prestige, which sank off the coast of Spain in November 2002, others
as a result of chronic oiling, most often caused by the deliberate and
illegal discharge of oil at sea.

Over the years there have been significant advances in the field of
oiled wildlife response and rehabilitation, particularly in the last
decade, which has helped to increase the success of oiled wildlife
responses. These include proactive capture of oiled animals,
organized, professional oiled wildlife teams and responses and ongoing
scientific research.

Increasingly throughout the world the response to oiled wildlife is
being included in the overall spill response plan and as such wildlife
rehabilitators, government agencies, the petroleum industry,
biologists, researchers and veterinarians are working to find more
effective ways of responding to and rehabilitating oiled wildlife.

The Effects of Oil on Wildlife Conference has proven to be the most
effective way to bring all interested parties together to learn and
improve knowledge and capabilities. Initiated in 1982 by Tri-State
Bird Rescue Research Center as a small gathering of interested
parties, the event has since grown into a truly international
conference with delegates from all over the world.

The Effects of Oil on Wildlife Conference is a multidiscipline
conference with the aim of mitigating the effects of oil pollution on
aquatic wildlife. It is a forum for those working in fields related to
oil pollution and its effects on wildlife. The specific aim of the
conference is to facilitate an exchange of information among peers;
biologists, veterinarians, rehabilitators, government wildlife
representatives, environmental NGOs and any other individuals or
organizations interested in improving the planning, prevention and
response to oil pollution's impact on wildlife.

This year, and for the first time in its history, the Effects of Oil
on Wildlife Conference will be held in Europe. Co-hosted by the
International Bird Rescue Research Center (IBRRC) and the
International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), the event will take
place in Hamburg, Germany from the 14 to 16 October 2003. It is hoped
that this conference, the seventh of its kind, will see a wider field
of participants
