45 Organizations, One Mission: The Oiled Wildlife Care Network

Season 5 · Episode 2

Saturday, April 18, 2026 • Duration 01:02:07

Send us Fan Mail

If you see oiled wildlife, call the OWCN 24-hour hotline: 1-877-UCD-OWCN (1-877-823-6926)

Frankie Lill coordinates wildlife oil spill response for the entire state of California. She also used to work with us, and is making this podcast cooler by the second. In this episode, she breaks down how the Oiled Wildlife Care Network mobilizes within hours of a spill, what it really takes to rehabilitate an oiled bird, why blue dish soap is still the MVP after decades of research, and reminisces on her past work (of being a social media SUPERSTAR) at the Aquarium of the Pacific.

In this episode:

Frankie's aviculturist background at the Aquarium of the Pacific and her role as Wildlife Planning Specialist on the OWCN team
How OWCN was created in response to catastrophic spills in the late 1980s and early 1990s
The four R's of OWCN's work: readiness, response, reaching out, and research
What happens when a spill is activated, from the planning meeting to boots on the ground within two hours
The full care journey of an oiled bird: field capture, stabilization, intake and processing, pre-wash care, washing, conditioning, waterproofing, and release
Why inland oil spills are more common than most people realize
How the network prepares responders for every species

In this episode, Madeline and Erin sit down with Jeff Flocken, President and CEO of the Aquarium of the Pacific, for his first podcast appearance since joining the institution. Jeff shares the winding path that brought him here, from studying giraffes in Africa, to law school, to nearly two decades of global wildlife policy work, and what it felt like to trade policy campaigns for waders in the San Gabriel River.

We also hear the full story of Porkchop, the Aquarium's three-flippered green sea turtle, from her rescue and rehabilitation to her release back into the river she calls home.

In this episode:

Jeff's path from field research and law school to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Humane Society International, and the Aquarium of the Pacific
The campaign to list African lions as endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act
The Emerging Wildlife Conservation Leaders program (EWCL), what it is, how it works, and why Jeff co-founded it 20 years ago
Erin's connection to the program as a member of the 11th class
Jeff's first impressions of the Aquarium and the conservation work already underway
Porkchop's rescue from the San Gabriel River, her year of rehabilitation at the Aquarium, and her release
What it felt like for Jeff, a career policy advocate, to release an animal into the wild for the first time
The Aquarium's current conservation programs: white abalone, sunflower sea stars, sea otter surrogacy, coral restoration, bull kelp, zebra sharks, monarch butterflies, mountain yellow-legged frogs, and more
Jeff's conservation dream: sea otters reclaiming their historic range from Alaska to Mexico
The animated short film Save Ralph, and how it helped pass cosmetic animal testing bans in four countries within a year
Jeff's wildlife hero: Dr. Jane Goodall
Chewbacca, Jeff's golden retriever, a rescue from a dog meat farm in South Korea
