With funding sources depleted, fishing safety drill instructors have decided to volunteer their time at a spring safety training workshop for commercial fishermen.
The free workshop is scheduled for May 15 at UMass Dartmouth’s School for Marine Science and Technology.
Training activities, which will be held from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., will include instruction in firefighting, man-overboard procedures, flood and pump operation, and other lifesaving skills that will help fishermen know what to do when facing an emergency situation at sea.
