Course Description
Guardians of the Shore: Empowerment Through Marine Rescue Knowledge
Imagine you're strolling along the coast, the rhythm of waves crashing beside you, when you suddenly spot a dolphin, wounded and stranded in the shallows. As humanity encroaches upon coastal habitats, such encounters with distressed marine animals are becoming increasingly frequent.
