The MLA has partnered with Fishing Partnerships to offer free Safety Training and Drill Conductor Certification this spring: These classes are FREE

Day One- Safety Training: This training is designed for all fishermen, including crewmen, to learn or hone fundamental skills. Through hands-on training, fishermen learn about EPIRBs, Signal Flares, MAYDAY Calls, Man Overboard Recovery, Firefighting, Flooding & Damage Control, Dewatering Pumps, Immersion Suits, PFDs, and Life Rafts. No Walk-ins Permitted
Commercial Fishermen that attend are eligible for a Rebate for 50% off a Lifejacket they purchase after the training!

Day Two - Drill Conductor Certification: Dig deeper into what you learned in the Safety & Survival Class including new information on cold-water survival,helicopter rescues, stability, liability and emergency procedures. Then apply your knowledge and skills to your own fishing vessel in a way that has proven to save lives. Fishermen that complete these two days of training are AMSEA certified Drill Conductors, which meets USCG requirements under 46 CFR 28.270(c).
