SUMMARY:The Wreck of the Kobayashi Maru: A Wildlife Assessment Simulation
DESCRIPTION:Special Session\n\nJD Bergeron (International Bird Rescue, GOW
 RS); Adam Grogan (GOWRS); and Danene Birtell (GOWRS, Oiled Wildlife Care N
 etwork)\n\nA spill response that involves oiled wildlife can feel like an 
 unwinnable challenge: a Kobayashi Maru scenario. In this session, a panel 
 of experts will lead the audience in an engaging simulation of a fictitiou
 s Tier 3 incident that demonstrates how specialist assessment built upon g
 ood preparedness can expedite that first feel-good news story of clean and
  healthy animals being released.\n\nThere have been incidents where the co
 mplexities of wildlife response were not properly considered, leading to c
 hallenges with planning, operations, and public relations. Effective wildl
 ife response starts with a well-tested and actionable contingency plan pre
 pared well in advance of the day the hotline rings. Further, the players m
 ust practice together so everyone knows their role ahead of the day they a
 re needed. Lastly, mobilizing the right expertise at the critical moment t
 o assess the four key dynamics (incident management, spill-specific challe
 nges, field operations, and rehabilitation) which are crucial to the deliv
 ery of an effective response. \n\nThis simulation will demonstrate how hav
 ing the correct building blocks in place will create a tool kit to address
  perceived challenges and to ultimately deliver an effective wildlife resp
 onse.\n\nSession Chair: JD Bergeron (GOWRS Ltd, International Bird Rescue)
