Whether you're trained or not, Deepwater Horizon Response (the official site of the response effort) recommends contacting specific state disaster coordination agencies for the affected states. The National Audubon Society is accepting volunteer registrations on its web site. In Louisiana, LA Gulf Response is coordinating efforts from the Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program, the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana, the National Audubon Society, the National Wildlife Federation and The Nature Conservancy. Alabama residents who wish to help should call the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program at (251) 431-6409 or the Mobile Baykeeper at (251) 433-4229. Save Our Seabirds in Florida asks volunteers to call (941) 388-3010. You can also register to help at Tri-State Bird Rescue and Research. Experts stress that volunteers should register with an agency online or by phone and not show up on site unless they've been specifically notified to come assist. Of course, there are plenty of other ways for you to help. Donate: Buy a special edition bottle of Dawn (look for the animal on the label), then head to Dawn's website to enter the code from your bottle. For every code entered, Dawn will donate $1 (with a goal of $500,000) to wildlife groups like the Marine Mammal Center and the International Bird Rescue Research Center. Have something more substantial in mind? Put larger donations to work through any of the groups already mentioned in this article. Sponsor a volunteer: Do you know any local veterinarians, zoo staffers or wildlife experts who would like to make the trip to help out? Contribute (or create!) a fund to help get them there. You can get invaluable animal handling experience of your own if you volunteer to help pick up the slack at their workplace while they're gone. http://animals.change.org/blog/view/can_you_help_oil_spill_wildlife_rescue_efforts[b][/b]:)[b][/b][i][/i] - Judy H Tue, 08 Jun 2010 23:32:54 +0100 http://www.earthprotect.com/blogs/-377.html#comment-28 http://www.tristatebird.org/support/wishlist - Judy Tue, 08 Jun 2010 23:27:31 +0100 http://www.earthprotect.com/blogs/-377.html#comment-14 You know Ann, I feel the same way, let us both research this a bit and find out, there are groups down there right now cleaning the animals and studying those that died. We can find out and maybe we can get a group on here. Maybe we can set up a fund raising campaign through donations for those groups. I will work on, we can share what we find. And maybe others will join us. - carol barbeito Fri, 21 May 2010 20:37:04 +0100
