Maui Session Info

The next Maui Ocean Awareness Training will be held in Fall 2010 in Kihei and Lahaina.

Please register on the waiting list if you would like to be notified of upcoming training sessions on Maui.

Local environmental organizations on Maui in partnership with the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary have joined forces to offer free Ocean Awareness Training certification classes to the community and to commercial marine activities operators. There are typically six evening classes that last 1½ hours each. Attendance at all classes is not required. However, if you complete all classes and attend one 3-hour field project of your choice, you will receive a C.O.R.A.L. (Care of our Culture, Ocean, Reefs and Animal Life) Certification Card that demonstrates your ocean knowledge to potential volunteer organizations or employers.

This free training will provide community volunteers and marine activity operators with up-to-date knowledge and interpretive skills to properly educate visitors about Hawaii’s unique marine and cultural environment. The training is an ideal opportunity for ocean users and enthusiasts, as well.
