Marine Wildlife Rehabilitation - Oil Spill Response

This website was created in summer 2008 (May-August) by a joint collaboration between University College Dublin and the Irish Seal Sanctuary.

The research took place primarily in U.C.D. with the exception of fieldtrips to Irish Seal Sanctuary, Garristown and Sealife Seal Sanctuary, Oban. Ms. Keegan was also responsible for the organisation of the content on this website and the information layout.
