Disclosed herein is a method of using biologically-relevant attractants for marine predators through deployment of the attractants into air and/or water in concentrations which will encourage the specific marine predators to move toward the deployment source. The method could be used in a number of situations, including, but not limited to, situations in which animals are in a hazardous situation, such as the immediate danger of an oil spill or clean-up activities in which the marine predators must be enticed to safety.
