In this episode we continue our journey with oiled wildlife preparedness and response. In particular we look at the important role of Sea Alarm, a non-governmental organization founded 25 years ago to advance wildlife response preparedness. In 2005, OSRL and Sea Alarm joined forces to address the critical gaps in oiled wildlife response preparedness, particularly in relation to industry preparedness. Back then, major oil spills like Erika, Prestige, and Tricolor exposed much of the world’s lack of readiness to protect wildlife. Governments were often overwhelmed, and NGOs had to self-organize without adequate resources. Over the last 20 years the collaboration between OSRL and Sea Alarm has transformed the landscape, making wildlife response preparedness more of a priority for governments and industry alike.
To explore this, we speak with Sea Alarm’s General Manager, Hugo Nijkamp. Hugo has been at the helm of Sea Alarm since its inception. We reflect on the achievements and transformations of the past 20 years - from developing international networks and enhancing local capabilities to mapping global preparedness. We also celebrate the partnership between Sea Alarm and OSRL and look ahead to the future and explore how we can adapt to new risks to wildlife, further improve global response capabilities, and continue to foster international collaboration.
