Sea Otter Response Levels. The size of the spill and, more importantly, the number of sea otters affected will determine the numbers of staff that are needed to perform the functions identified above. The numbers of personnel needed for various levels of sea otter impacts are listed by function in Table 9310-7. The levels are as follows: Level I more than 100 sea otters Level II 50 to 99 sea otters Level III 10 to 49 sea otters Level IV 1 to 9 sea otters Table 9310-7 identifies the estimated equipment that would be required to mount a response appropriate to the levels listed above. It is probable that an oil spill on the outer coast would impact both sea otters and marine birds. Consequently, some response personnel may serve dual function for both birds and otters. These positions include the Wildlife Branch Director and the Wildlife Reconnaissance Group. See Table 9310-4 for minimum staffing guidelines for the Marine Mammal Recovery and Rehabilitation Group.
