Oil Spill Threats to Marine Mammals Sample Clauses

Oil Spill Threats to Marine Mammals. The Marine Mammal Oil Spill Response Guidelines offer a thorough introduction to marine mammals and their sensitivity to spilled oil. See Table 9310-6 for a summary of response actions for oiled marine mammals. For pinnipeds, fur and blubber aid thermoregulation, and direct contact with oil may cause dermal injury and conjunctivitis. Thermal insulative value is of particular concern for fur seals since they do not rely on a thick blubber layer for insulation, and this may result in hypothermia. For both pinnipeds and cetaceans, ingestion of oil may cause gastrointestinal ulcers, liver and kidney damage, and behavioral abnormalities. Oil spill responders must consider that capturing, holding, treating, and release places stress on the animal, and the consequences of capture and captivity may be a greater risk to its well-being than contacting oil. Pinnipeds with adequate mobility after contacting oil may subsequently shed the oil through abrasion against the substrate (sand, rocks etc.) when hauling out if uncontaminated shoreline areas are available. Heavily oiled pinnipeds, abandoned or moribund young pups of any species, and species that rely on fur for thermal insulation are the most likely candidates to require temporary care for cleaning or rehabilitation if they lack sufficient mobility to avoid capture.
