Abstract

This website describes the activities of WILDCOMS and has two key features (i) a quarterly newsletter that includes a "spotlight" feature that provides a holistic overview of risks and threats posed by specific contaminants and disease. Topics featured in 2012-13 were "Wildlife and Zoonoses", "Emerging Hazards and Risks" "Rodenticides" and a "Summary of existing practices of the partner schemes in WILDCOMS". In 2013-14 they were “Mercury (Hg)”, “Monitoring activities in Scotland” and “Citizen Science”. (ii) news items relevant to surveillance monitoring for contaminants and disease. Approximately 400 national and international stakeholders receive alerts so that they can download the newsletters. The website varies in terms of numbers of hits but these can be as high as 600 per day
