Driver Training

NIMMSA offers Driver Training materials designed to support safe, responsible, and consistent on-water practices across our membership.

These resources are intended to help captains and crew deepen their understanding of marine mammal viewing guidelines, vessel operation best practices, and respectful behavior on the water.

We encourage all operators to review the material and use it as part of your team’s preseason preparation and ongoing training.
