The EU-funded project EUROWA aimed at establishing a network of European experts and response equipment that can be mobilised via the EU Civil Protection Mechanism.
The project partners developed the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for EUROWA, a portfolio of professional oiled wildlife responder training packages together with a range of Manuals and Handbooks. They also provided training courses following a qualification training path, developed a database keeping track of all the trained responders across Europe and established a maintenance programme for a European stockpile of oiled wildlife response equipment currently hosted in Belgium
