The Black Fish

The Black Fish launched its conservation training programme in March 2013 to allow individuals to gain specialist skills that can be utilized in marine conservation work. Certificates in diving, sailing and power boat driving can be obtained through a series of professional courses that are held in Northern Europe. Wietse van der Werf, co-founder o... f The Black Fish: "We have always had a strong commitment to build a broader marine conservation movement and this new training programme will allow us to support individuals in learning, achieving their potential and getting actively involved in conservation work. Even if they use those skills outside of our own organisation, we still believe it is vital that we support people in obtaining more specialist skills that will ultimately benefit the marine conservation movement as a whole." The training programme will be expanded over the coming years to include other courses, on subjects such as marine engineering, fisheries enforcement, grassroots campaigning and marine mammal rescue.Read More
