Online Cetacean Training Course

Online

The Sea Watch Foundation is the most experienced organisation in the UK for training observers and students interested in marine mammals, having run courses for over thirty years. It has provided training for staff from all three national statutory conservation agencies, the Environmental Agency, CEFAS, Defra, the Wildlife Trusts, Royal Navy and MMOs working with offshore renewables, and the oil and gas industries. Most of the field guides for cetaceans on the market in the UK have been written or had consultations from the Sea Watch Foundation. We can therefore guarantee a very high level of training, led by highly experienced staff. The lectures and videos will focus on the general biology and classification of cetaceans, species identification, conservation issues facing UK cetaceans and recommended monitoring survey methods. What will you learn? How to identify different cetacean species How to collect data on land and on a boat Why Photo Identification is important and how to conduct Photo ID Cetacean ecology and behaviour Different species of sea birds Conservation and management of cetaceans
