March 2009
Marine conservation organizations are joining together to offer a special Ocean Awareness training in Waikiki during the month of March. The training promotes responsible use and stewardship of Oahu’s marine and coastal resources. Participants also learn about current ocean conservation efforts and how to get involved. Those who complete all the training sessions and one field day component receive a C.O.R.A.L Card (Care of our Ocean, Reefs and Animal Life) that demonstrates their ocean knowledge. The program is recommended for those employed or volunteering in the fields of marine education or recreation, and those who just want to learn more about Hawaii’s ocean environment. Instructors include university scientists, government agency staff, environmental educators, and conservation practitioners.
