There will be a Marine Mammal Observation Workshop here in Nain.
Kayla Wyatt is the Food & Environment Skills Program Coordinator with the Nunatsiavut Government.
She says there are 10 spots available and are hoping to have 2 people from each of the communities along the coast.
There will be 2 days of in-class training on marine mammals such as seals, whales, porpoises, about identification, differences, monitoring, etc.
She says that they will also have a day where they’ll be going out in boat to look for marine mammals to do the observations that they learned in the class.
Wyatt adds that all expenses will be covered and there will be honorariums for participating.
This will be for ages 18 years or older to participate in this training.
