Whale Rescue Training
FREE whale rescue training
Tasmania is a hotspot for mass whale strandings, with over 80% of Australia’s whale strandings occurring here.

All participants will be eligible to join Tasmania’s Wildcare First Response Teams – whale rescue or marine wildlife incidents.
Sunday 28th July, 9am to 3pm @ Parks and Wildlife, Seven Mile Beach Office
