The text discusses the considerations that must be made when responding to oil spills to minimize harm to sea turtles, which are vulnerable to both the spilled oil and the response actions taken. Response actions that could impact sea turtles require coordination with both resource and operational experts to devise effective avoidance or mitigation measures. In offshore spills in U.S. waters, where hatchling and small juvenile sea turtles are found, dedicated rescue efforts can be highly effective and are recommended. Spills that impact or threaten nesting beaches require a number of considerations to minimize harm to female turtles, eggs, and hatchlings. The text also provides an introduction and background to oil spill response, the Incident Command System (ICS), and the broader objectives of oil spill response, which can sometimes pose competing or conflicting response objectives.how you are going to use it to support your sea turtle Rehabilitation Plan
