Development and publication of the <strong>Marine</strong> Mammal Oil Spill Guidelines was made possible with the<br />
financial support from NOAA <strong>Fisheries</strong>, <strong>National</strong> <strong>Marine</strong> Mammal Health and Stranding<br />
Response Program and the combined effort of many different interested and willing parties and<br />
organizations. The bulk of these procedures are based on protocols developed by participant<br />
organizations within California’s Oiled Wildlife Care Network (OWCN) from years of marine<br />
mammal rehabilitation and oil spill response experience. These guidelines could not have been<br />
written without the previous contribution to the field of marine mammal oil spill response by<br />
Pamela Yochem (Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute, San Diego, CA) and Marty Haulena (The<br />
<strong>Marine</strong> Mammal Center, Sausalito, CA). Additions and modifications to this document should be<br />
made regularly as advances in oil spill response techniques are made. Any suggestions for<br />
additional material or comments on methods included in this document are welcome.<br />
Many individuals and organizations helped make this publication possible through the generous<br />
contributions of their time and effort and we offer our sincere thanks to everyone involved.<br />
