These participants are a step closer to completing their Coxswain Grade III ticket - thanks to our Aboriginal Fisheries team.

They all completed their Senior First Aid Certificate in Wauchope recently as a requirement of this course.

Already having their general boat licence, they now have only a few more steps – such as completing the required hours on the water, the final on-board assessment and passing a medical check before these individuals become certified Coxswain Grade III licence holders.

Interested in how your community can get involved? Touch base with our Cultural Economic Development webpage or Sea Country Marine Estate playlist on YouTube to find out more.

This is part of the Cultural economic development project funded via the NSW Marine Estate Management Strategy.
