SUMMARY:Cancelled: Sea Safety and Survival (Drill Instructor) and Fishermen First Aid and Safety Training (FFAST) in Seattle
DESCRIPTION:This course has been cancelled.\nWashington Sea Grant is holding a combined Sea Safety and Survival (Drill Instructor) and Fishermen First Aid and Safety Training (FFAST) in Seattle. \nThe Coast Guard-approved Sea Safety and Survival course meets the training requirements of the Commercial Fishing Safety Act to conduct drills. Coursework combines lectures and hands-on experience with the safety and survival equipment that is 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. \nThe Fisherman First Aid and Safety Training was built to help commercial fishermen prevent and treat injuries they may encounter at sea. It takes into account the small crews\, common injuries\, vessel environments\, cold water\, rough seas\, and delayed emergency response times typical to Pacific Northwest fisheries. Successful completion of this course will fulfill the Coast Guard requirements for CPR and AED basic first aid. \nCaptains and boat owners are encouraged to bring their whole crew! \nWhen:\nJanuary 22-24\, 2026\n8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. \nWhere:\nNordby Conference Center at Fishermen’s Terminal\n3919 18th Avenue West\nSeattle\, WA \nFee:\n$200 ($100 for commercial fishermen) \n  \nFor more details\, including scholarship information\, contact Robert Maw\, rmaw@uw.edu. \n### \nWashington Sea Grant\, based at the University of Washington\, helps people and marine life thrive through research\, technical expertise and education supporting the responsible use and conservation of coastal ecosystems. Washington Sea Grant is one of 34 Sea Grant programs supported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in coastal and Great Lakes states that encourage the wise stewardship of our marine resources. \n

SUMMARY:Free webinar: Beyond Education: Overcoming Psychological Barriers to Behavior Change
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Shoreline & Coastal Planners Group. \nThis webinar will examine why education usually does not translate into behavior change and communication approaches that can improve the translation from information to behavior change. Drawing on findings from Bridging Policy and Public Perception: Effective Communication of Shoreline Armoring Trade-offs in Coastal Communities\, this talk explores key psychological barriers—including risk aversion\, mistrust\, distal theory\, and social values—that shape how residents interpret information and make shoreline management decisions. Speakers will discuss how these barriers limit the effectiveness of education-only approaches and why communication strategies must be audience-centered\, place-based\, emotionally informed\, and delivered through trusted local messengers. They will use relevant programs and initiatives to highlight practical examples of how community-centered communication can better support informed and equitable coastal decision-making. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public. Register here. \n
