  • Description:
    156 persons were trained in USCG drill Conductor certification and 10 on First Aid and CPR. These trainees were 95% 14 -18 year old students who participate or live in Downeast coastal fishing communities. Many of the individuals are in the Maine student license or apprenticeship program for a Maine Lobster and Crab harvesters licenses. The training was made available within fishing communities from The Haven Islands in Penobscot Bay to Cutler in Eastern Maine. Six high schools supported this training throughout the region. Additionally, this effort prompted private entrepreneurs into establishing a marine safety equipment and training support company to meet the industry stated need of managing equipment, training and drill maintenance. This initiative has led to the continuation of training for safety awareness and experience, with the potential of reducing accidents and or tragedy from marine related emergencies. As one parent of a trainee said "This program should be available like driver training is for your drivers license, many of these students are on the water as much as they are in their cars". The program continues to push to achieve that level of availability. [Description provided by NIOSH]
