Sea Safety and Survival Trainings in Ilwaco and Westport

Learn emergency drills for commercial fishing vessels

Washington Sea Grant is sponsoring two one-day Sea Safety & Survival (Drill Instructor) Courses for commercial fishermen and charter boat operators.

These Coast Guard approved workshops meet the training requirements of the Commercial Fishing Safety Act to conduct drills. Coursework combines lecture and hands-on experience with the safety and survival equipment now required for commercial fishing vessels. Participants will learn about emergency procedures and will be trained to develop appropriate emergency drills for their own vessels.
