How You Can Help
What should you do if you find a sea turtle or marine mammal stranded in an unnatural situation?
Call the Marine Mammal Stranding Network at 1-866-767-6114 or Oregon State Police, Wildlife Division at 1-800-452-7888. More info HERE.
What should you do if you find an unmarked western snowy plover nest?
Please keep a respectful distance of 50 feet and report the nest’s location immediately to Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.
What should you do if you see sick or dead birds?
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) cannot test every dead bird but may want to test birds in locations where multiple birds have died and the disease has not yet been detected. You can contact ODFW’s Wildlife Health Lab at 866-968-2600 or odfw.wildlifehealth@odfw.oregon.gov if you see multiple dead birds in the same location. For your safety, please do NOT touch any sick or dead birds you find.
Living with our bald eagle neighbors
Wondering whether you need a permit for an activity that might impact bald eagles? The Service recently took steps to streamline the process for permits related to qualifying wind-energy generation projects, power line infrastructure, activities that may disturb breeding bald eagles, and bald eagle nest take; you can find more information HERE.
