OPERATION WILD SEASON 2 Premieres November 5 at 10PM (ET/PT) on Planet Green

From wild crocodile attacks, to run-ins with drunken sailors, to life-or-death swamp rescues; there is no such thing as a boring day at the office for the men and women of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC). Planet Green's original docu-series, OPERATION WILD, follows these real law enforcement officers with personalities as big as the everglades, as they protect Florida's delicate and diverse natural ecosystems.  The heart-pounding action returns to Planet Green when the world-premiere second season kicks off Friday, November 5, at 9 PM (ET/PT).

OPERATION WILD takes viewers on an all-access ride-along as the elite collection of mavericks tackles environmental crimes and emergencies.  Fully-armed and supported by their arsenal of air boats, ATVs, helicopters, and four-wheel drives, the FWC team patrols Florida's land, water and air.  Favorite characters from season one return, including 22-year FWC veteran, Erik "The Magnet" Steinmentz, and the FWC's resident cowboy/ladies' man, Clinton Bean.  Season two also introduces new members to the team, including non-nonsense working mother, Dana "Copper Mom" Klein, and FWC rookie, Thomas Van Trees.

The new season of OPERATION WILD also provides a first-hand glimpse at the effect of this year's Gulf Oil Spill.  As the oil spreads east across the Gulf of Mexico to Florida waters, the FWC team is called upon to protect the coastal environment and indigenous animals and plants threatened by the natural disaster.

Episode One:  World Premiere - Friday, November 5 (9:00 PM ET/PT)
When an 8-foot long crocodile terrorizes a family and its pets, the Florida Fishing and Wildlife Commission's Officer Eric Steinmetz is dispatched to the scene.  Steinmetz is forced to call upon past lessons from his 22 years of experience in order to trap the croc - which refuses to  fall for any of the usual traps. Next, Officer Racquel Daniels responds to a call involving a group of drunken sailors living on a sailboat who may be disposing their waste directly into the ocean. The plot thickens when  Daniels discovers one of the men has an outstanding warrant for his arrest and must be taken in.  Finally, when a woman goes missing for days in the rugged back roads of the Florida swampland, Officer Clinton Bean must use his off-road driving and hunting experience to track her down before time runs out on her survival.
 
Episode Two: World Premiere - Friday, November 5 (9:30 PM ET/PT)
The Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was one of the worst environmental disasters ever to occur in the U.S. To combat this catastrophe, the FWC is enlisted to protect Florida's fragile ecosystem. While working outside her usual Jacksonville beat to help locate spill-affected areas, Officer Dana Klein gets a call for a possible suicide jumper at a nearby bridge. Could there be a possible connection to the oil spill?

Hundreds of miles to the East, Officer Clinton Bean witnesses the ramifications of the oil spill first-hand, as he deals renegade watermen who illegally jump the official start date of the scallop season, in order to avoid oil contamination.  Menawhile back in the Everglades, FWC rookie Tommy Van Trees heads to a nuisance gator call. Later, is confronted by the effects of the spill while working as part of a team to release rescued baby sea turtles back into the wild.

Episode Three: World Premiere - Friday, November 12 (9:00 PM ET/PT)
Lobster harvesting is a billion-dollar industry, and the Florida Keys are a hotbed in this worldwide industry. During the two-day lobster mini-season, anyone with a fishing license can harvest six lobsters per day. However, the temptation of over-fishing is always present - and top of mind to Officer Jimmy Johnson. After indentifying a suspicious boat and scuba diver, Officer Johnson embarks on an underwater chase and a search for evidence that could send the suspects straight to jail.  Later, members of FWC go covert, as Officer Dana Klein lets down her hair and goes undercover to catch a group of lobster poachers and Officer Eric Steinmetz disguises himself to catch two men who are illegally spearing lobster in a marine sanctuary.

Episode Four: World Premiere - Friday, November 12 (9:30PM ET/PT)
Protecting Florida's animals and wildlife is the top priority of the FWC and its officers - and they will do just about anything to uphold their oath. That's where Robo-Deer comes in.  Officer Clinton Bean breaks out a robotic deer meant to ensnare potential off-season poachers. If anyone spots Robo-Deer and shoots, they earn a guaranteed trip to jail.   Also, in this episode, Officer Dana Klein's patience is tested by an unruly group of drunkards and Officer Tyler Harrison releases an endangered manatee, back into its natural habitat.

Episode Five: World Premiere - Friday, November 19 (9:00 PM/ET)
Officer Eric Steinmetz provides field training to FWC rookie, Aja Vickers, who then must respond to his first call to retrieve a crocodile out of someone's backyard swimming pool.  Last year, Officer Steinmetz trained Racquel Daniels, but now she now is patrolling her own boat. Daniels is tested when she stops a fisherman who may be illegally catching snapper.  Only six months on the beat, Officer Tommy Van Trees is still considered green. In this episode, he must respond to a possible rattlesnake call - and he is well aware that when snakes bite, they don't care if you're a veteran or rookie.
