Audubon Launches National Volunteer
Response Center
A new national
Volunteer Response Center is gearing up to channel the
energies of a growing force of volunteers seeking to help
birds, wildlife, and habitat weather the assault of the Gulf
oil spill.
The National Audubon Society opened the
new facility in Moss Point, Mississippi on Monday, and
organizers are being deployed to affected areas in three
other coastal states to contact, coordinate and mobilize
more than 22,000 volunteers who have signed up with Audubon.
That number continues to grow. If you would like to receive
updates on Audubon's response efforts and be notified when
volunteer opportunities arise,
please fill out our volunteer registration form.
Early in the crisis, Audubon teams
responded to urgent requests from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service in Louisiana, recruiting and scheduling scores of
volunteers to work dockside shifts to assist federal and
state wildlife agencies in their recovery and transport of
oiled and injured birds. Volunteers are now serving as
"Wildlife Transport Facilitators" 7 days/week at four sites.
Across the Gulf Coast, volunteers screened for special
skills are helping to identify and mark fragile coastal
areas to protect habitats and nesting areas from damage as
clean-up operations become necessary. This remains an
important part of our spill response. Please take a moment
to
vote for Audubon in the Members
Project to support our continued response.
As Audubon ramps up, anticipated
volunteer activities will include:
-
Volunteer Response Center
Staff — scheduling volunteers, identifying and
coordinating engagement with new projects, logistical
support, arranging training, office management, etc.
-
Coastal Bird Survey
— collecting data and photos on bird resources and
impacts across the coast according to specific
scientific protocols.
-
Wildlife Transport
Facilitator —assisting USFWS and Tri-State Bird
Rescue with volunteers scheduled in daily shifts in key
locations for injured/oiled wildlife recovery and
transport operations throughout the coastal region.
-
Bird Capture and Rescue
Materials — making nets, cages, and other
materials to assist trained professionals in oiled bird
rescue efforts.
-
Citizen Science Monitoring
— submitting electronic information on birds sightings
at Important Bird Areas, refuges, or sanctuaries to
assess population impacts, numbers of target species, or
species of concern.
-
Bird Hotline Operators
— providing on-site bird expertise for our Volunteer
Response Center as well as possibly in field offices of
BP, Tri-State Bird Rescue and others involved in
response efforts to address issues related to bird
sightings, handling, species identification, etc.

Audubon's response to the oil spill,
