Join us in March for our 2026 training session
This year, the training course will be held on Saturday, March 14, at the Hotel Captain Cook in Anchorage, AK. This will again be a hybrid course and provide 8-hours of HAZWOPER First Responder Training so that, in the event of an oil spill, you will be OSHA-approved and able to assist with the care of oiled sea otters in the rehabilitation facility. To satisfy the training requirement and achieve certification, you must complete the online training, pass the online quiz, and be present for the entire course (online or in person) on March 14. Registration is now open. Click below on the “Oiled Sea Otter Rehabilitation” training course to start the online portion. If you have any questions, contact wildliferesearch.iwr@gmail.com.
