WISE (Wildlife Safe) is a marine wildlife training and accreditation scheme for skippers and crew who may encounter marine wildlife during the course of their trips.

This one-day workshop provides practical and relevant information, including marine wildlife identification, boat handling best practice around marine wildlife and an overview of wildlife law in relation to marine wildlife and boats.
