FREE training is scheduled for Northern and Southern California. RSVP to ensure your seat.



California divers can become "Dockwalkers" who are trained environmental boating educators.


The Dockwalker program is implemented in partnership with many organizations: the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Foundation, the Keep the Delta Clean Program, the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, the City of Newport Beach, Association for Santa Monica Bay Yacht Club, Women’s Sailing Association, Windjammers and the Fairwind Yacht Clubs, Project- GreenWorks, Humboldt BayKeeper, West Marine, among others.
This educational training is FREE and Dockwalking is a fantastic way to interact with boaters to help keep California’s marinas, waterways, and ocean clean and healthy.


The training provides an overview of environmentally- sound boating practices, information about how to conduct Dockwalking, educational materials that Dockwalkers will distribute.


FOR:

• Boaters
• Fishermen
• Marina and Yacht Club Operators
• State and Local Officials
• Interested Parties, and
• Californians who play in the clean waters of California!

In the last five years, more than 500 Dockwalkers have distributed over 80,000 boater kits statewide. Hours spent training or educating the public qualify as community service.


LEARN:

• Dockwalkers will be trained to engage members of the public and the boating community in adopting clean boating practices. Once training is complete, these volunteers don their official “Dockwalker” hats and conduct face-to-face boater education while visiting marinas, boat launch ramps, boat shows and special events.
