Facilities 101: Water pressure is important for oiled wildlife!

Back in late June/ early July the OWCN management team traveled down to the Marine Wildlife Veterinary Care and Research Center (MWVCRC) in Santa Cruz  to participate in a sea otter wash drill with our partners at CDFW-OSPR. At this drill I found myself serving as the facilities lead as we were also drilling the facility. In this role it was my job to ensure continued function of equipment and facility infrastructure to include lighting, wash table functionality, water quality, water pressure, boiler functionality, etc.
