CORNISH MARINE LIFE RESCUE VOLUNTEER TRAINIING: Free one-day course for student volunteers! - Saturday 25 October

WATCH THIS SPACE FOR ANOTHER DATE EARLY NEXT YEAR...

The Silver Dolphin Centre, Porthleven, worked with local marine mammal medics to set up Cornish Marine Life Rescue.

The centre runs this one day workshop to provide training for local volunteers. The morning session is classroom based and the afternoon is a practical session on cetacean rescue.
Morning Session:
A look at the anatomy and biology of cetaceans. An introduction into the different species found around the Cornish coast and their identification. The action that needs to be taken when caring for live strandings.
Afternoon Session:
The afternoon session will consist of a practical demonstration of care and refloatation of a stranded cetacean.

By the end of the day you will have an understanding of cetaceans around the southwest coast of England, the problems they face when they strand and how we can help.

Please email me - communityaction@fxu.org.uk or call me on 01326 253631 or pop in to the FXU office to put your name down if you are interested. There is no charge for this course and transport will be provided by the FXU. A great opportunity!
