By providing training courses and material to civil protection professionals and volunteers, in cooperation with local competent authorities, the project aims at improving the effectiveness of emergency response to shoreline pollution fol- lowing an oil spill in European coastal countries of the Mediterranean Sea. It is implemented by REMPEC and the following partners: the Centre of Documen- tation, Research and Experimentation on Accidental Water Pollution (Cedre), the Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (ISPRA), Sea Alarm Founda- tion, and the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions of Europe (CPMR). Purpose of the manual This manual is one of 4 manuals produced in the framework of the POSOW project (the others are Oiled Shoreline Assessment, Oiled Shoreline Cleanup and Oil Spill Volunteer Management). This manual is designed to help teams of volunteers to understand and implement field wildlife response operations which have been assigned to them by authori- ties in charge of the response. The document is divided in two parts: Part 1: background, general principles of oiled wildlife response and presentation of wildlife response actions and tasks which can be undertaken by volunteers Part 2: technical sheets to be used in the field and on the work floor The manual is designed for volunteers and all wildlife responders who: → are working at onshore wildlife response operational sites → have little or no previous knowledge of wildlife response → may undertake certain wildlife response activities on land and on the shoreline → may potentially be in contact with oil and wild animals. A number of oiled wildlife response activities should not be undertaken by vo- lunteers as they require more in-depth training and experience to be conducted safely and effectively. Throughout this manual, it will be made clear which wildlife response tasks POSOW-trained volunteers may undertake and where they may need to work under supervision of trained experts. 4 Page n° Table of contents 7 PART 1 - GENERAL PRINCIPLES 8 Oiled wildlife response 9 The use and position of response volunteers 10 Jobs for volunteers 11 Vulnerable wildlife in the Mediterranean 18 Health and safety for volunteers 19 Health and safety on the oiled shoreline 20 Health and safety in a rehabilitation facility 22 Search and collection of animals 25 Animal transport 26 Animal arrival and reception 27 Intake and triage 28 Pre-wash care and stabilisation 31 The washing process 32 Post-wash care and waterproofing on pools 33 Release 34 What to expect as a volunteer 35 PART 2 - FORMS AND GUIDANCE DATASHEETS 36 Managing the early days of a wildlife response datasheet 1 37 Capturing live animals datasheet 2 38 Setup and layout of a forward holding centre datasheet 3 39 Overview of oiled wildlife rehabilitation datasheet 4 40 Working in the arrival and reception area datasheet 5 41 Medical record form datasheet 6 42 Holding a bird datasheet 7 43 Tubing a bird for rehydration datasheet 8 45 Daily routine – stabilisation datasheet 9 46 Daily routine – pre-wash care of stabilised birds datasheet 10 47 Setting up and running a command centre datasheet 11 48 Equipment for pre-wash care and stabilisation datasheet 12 49 Animal housing datasheet 13 50 Dealing with live oiled sea turtles datasheet 14 51 Contact details for incident assistance datasheet 15 53 PART 3 - FURTHER INFORMATION 54 Glossary and acronyms 56 Bibliography 58 Useful websites 5 6 PART 1 GENERAL PRINCIPLES Oiled wildlife response 8 The use and position of response volunteers 9 Jobs for volunteers 10 Vulnerable wildlife in the Mediterranean 11 Health and safety for volunteers 18 Health and safety on the oiled shoreline 19 Health and safety in a rehabilitation facility 20 Search and collection of animals 22 Animal transport 25 Animal arrival and reception 26 Intake and triage 27 Pre-wash care and stabilisation 28 The washing process 31 Post-wash care and waterproofing on pools 32 Release 33 What to expect as a volunteer 34 7 Oiled wildlife response Some marine animals, such as marine and cleaning and rehabilitation in specia- Volunteers being coastal birds, sea turtles, seals and otters lised facilities, or alternatively ending briefed on arrival are extremely sensitive to oiling.

  • Practical Guide for Breeding Ecology of Kentish Plover
    Practical guide for investigating breeding ecology of Kentish plover Charadrius alexandrinus Tamás Székely, András Kosztolányi & Clemens Küpper Department of Biology & Biochemistry, University of Bath, Bath BA2 7AY, UK [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Version 3, 1 April 2008 Photos by T. Székely, A. Kosztolányi & C. Küpper Rationale The Kentish/snowy plover Charadrius alexandrinus is a small cosmopolitan shorebird (body mass about 40-44 g). In the last few years we have developed a suite of methods to investigate its behaviour and ecology in the field. We thought this practical guide may be useful for students and researchers with an interest in small plovers. Some aspects of these methods may be relevant for other shorebirds and ground-nesting birds in general. Our fundamental motivation in writing this guide is to show that the Kentish plover is an easy species to work with, if one is willing to pay attention to a few potential pitfalls. We hope that this guide will elicit further research. Please contact us if you have questions and comments, and let us know of any errors. Note that Kentish plovers have been studied in several countries and by a good range of researchers, and we don't claim that our methods work best. Many Kentish plover populations are now declining. You need to be sensible about fieldwork, and carefully evaluate the costs and benefits of using a particular method. The last thing you want is to put an extra burden on plover populations - they have a hard time anyway to cope with predators, floods and threats humans are imposing upon them.

  • Final Report on a Fourth Winter Ornithological Survey in Libya, 20-31 January 2008
    Final report on a fourth winter ornithological survey in Libya, 20‐31 January 2008 Abdulmaula Hamza, Almokhtar Saied, Essam Bourass, Jaber Yahya, Michael Smart, Nicola Baccetti, Pierre Defos du Rau, Habib Dlensi and Hichem Azafzaf. 1. Background Winter ornithological surveys, mainly of wetlands, have been organised in Libya in January 2005, January 2006 and (at a slightly later date) in February 2007, under the aegis of the Environment General Authority (EGA) of Libya and of the Regional Activities Centre/Specially Protected Areas of UNEP’s Mediterranean Action Plan (Azafzaf et al 2005; Azafzaf et al 2006a; Etayeb et al 2007; Smart et al 2006). A fourth winter survey was organised in January 2008, once again under the aegis of these two bodies, and with essentially the same Libyan and non‐Libyan participants. A preliminary report giving an immediate summary of the findings and recommendations of the 2008 survey has already been produced (Hamza et al 2008b). The present final report reproduces the basic data from the preliminary report, with additional material and comment received since the publication of the preliminary report. 2. Objectives and areas covered The objectives of the survey were: (1) To identify possible wintering grounds of the Slender‐billed Curlew Numenius tenuirostris, and to obtain further up‐to‐date information on the status in Libya of this Critically Endangered (CR) species, under threat at global level, which is the subject of an AEWA Memorandum, and is included in Appendix II of the Mediterranean Action Plan. (2) To repeat the surveys of the previous winters, with coverage of additional sites in the southern oases.

The north-western European population is small and amounts not more than 1 300 bp. It has been declining for several decades (Berndt et al. 2002, Thorup 2006). At the Wadden Sea coast of Schleswig-Holstein, the Kentish plover has been declining from 600 bp in 1993 to 200 bp in 1999 (Berndt et al. 2002). In the Danish Wadden Sea – in particular on the beaches of the islands Fanø and Rømø – the population has fluctuated without a clear trend since the first countrywide survey in 1969 (Dybbro 1970); the breeding pair numbers Charadrius alexandrinus.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION 19 REFERENCES 22 Text and graphics: Kees Koffijberg Lay‐out: Gerold Lüerßen Breeding birds in trouble: A framework for an action plan in the Wadden Sea 3 Summary Data from the bird monitoring schemes within TMAP have shown that breeding birds in the Wadden Sea are generally not doing well at the moment. Recent results show that 18 out of 29 monitored bird species are in decline. Among them are species for which the Wadden Sea hosts an important share of the flyway population, e.g. Redshank, Oystercatcher and Avocet. In the group of species showing "steady" declines, many breeding birds of coastal grasslands are found, for instance Lapwing, Black‐tailed Godwit, Common Snipe and Ruff. Common Snipe, Dunlin and Ruff are on the brink of extinction as breeding birds. Compared to previous assessments in Quality Status Reports, the number of species showing negative trends has further increased recently. Moreover, the rate of decrease has accelerated in several species, indicating breeding conditions are getting worse. Poor breeding success has been identified as an important driver for the declining populations. Especially in species like Oystercatcher, Avocet and Arctic Tern, there is a clear association between low breeding success, the general decline in numbers and the recent acceleration in the rate of decline.

(2020) recently published a data-paper CeutaOPEN. However, the publication has significant shortcomings: the article does not explain the history nor the context of the project, it did not give credit to the developers of field methodology and data structure, and fails to acknowledge key contributions to the project. We request correcting these shortcomings. Data publishing (i.e., releasing research data in published form for use by others) is an integral part of open science. By making data available to anyone lowers the cost of research, makes data mining possible, and can make scientific analyses and discover easier. Open access data publishing, therefore, is beneficial for scientists and the society including the very authors of data publication. To advance scientific progress, data publishing needs to be done responsibly. However, a recent publication by Eberhart-Phillips et al.1 (henceforth EPA) has significant shortcomings, since the article does not explain the rationale that lead to the project, it has omissions and inaccurate statements, and fails to acknowledge key contributions to their project.
