About the event

Join us at Braunton Countryside Centre for this day long session, which will consist of a morning indoor session learning about the Marine Strandings Network, Cetacean (dolphin, whales and porpoise) and seal identification, H&S, and how to use our recording forms to gather the vital records we need.

In the afternoon we will head outside for a practical session and learn how to record dead strandings using life-sized models of a dolphin, porpoise and seal. This will be a fun day, but with a serious purpose.

The training costs £17.50 and booking is essential as places are limited. At the end of the day, you will have successfully trained to join DWT's Marine Strandings Volunteer Network (MSN) and will receive a digital training pack upon completion.

PLEASE NOTE: This training is for (adult) Devon residents who are willing and able to volunteer to attend and record strandings along the North Devon coastline. There is a separate course on Oct 25th for South Devon residents wishing to attend strandings along the South Devon coastline.
