Oil is a known carcinogen and can have a devastating effect on every species of animal that comes in direct contact with it, including humans!

 

Some of the effects of oil on wildlife are;

      • Clogging up coats and feathers
      • Damage to eyes, ears and nasal area
      • Skin irritation
      • Chemical pneumonia
      • Gastrointestinal irration 
      • Reproduction failure
      • Hypo/hyperthermia
      • Starvation/dehydration 

 

 

We received funding from grants via the Irish Coast Guard, the Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine Ex Gratia funding and the Community Environment Action Fund for training and preparedness projects. 

 

We have also received support from Providence Resources Plc. and CNOOC Limited to develop response capabilities.

Training and exercises are carried out on an annual basis.
