ONLINE TRAINING REFRESHER
The Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission has created a NEW online watercraft inspection and decontamination (WID) refresher course for individuals that attended class prior to 2022. This training is intended to provide updated training and documentation on WID protocols and procedures.
The Western Regional Panel’s Decon Think Tank Committee has been updating WID protocols and procedures to reflect current science and knowledge. In November 2021, the ANS Task Force approved the western inspection procedures as the national standard following an extensive nation-wide review.
The WID Manual, WID Trainer’s Manual, and the Uniform Minimum Protocols and Standards (UMPS IV) were also updated in 2021.
PSMFC is providing this online, asynchronous training so that previously trained WID professionals have the latest and greatest information to best protect our waters and stop the spread of aquatic invasive species on recreational watercraft.
You can access the course by clicking on the link below and setting up a free account. The course is available through the website or via a mobile app depending on your preference.
