Kenyan marine rangers, fishermen, and Beach Management Unit representatives underwent an intensive training workshop this week to help enhance the conservation and protection of marine mammals along Kenya’s vast coastline. IFAW partnered with Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and Kenya Marine Mammal Research and Conservation (KMMREC) to deliver a three-day training course centred around whale disentanglement and dolphin stranding response. Led by Brian Sharp - an International Whaling Commission (IWC) trainer, the training combined the IWC’s globally accepted best practices from the Global Whale Response Network and IFAW’s stranding response expertise. Approximately 35 community members joined classroom activities, with 20 Kenyan rescuers participating in on-the-water whale disentanglement training and land-based dolphin stranding response. The training will help Kenyan rescuers better monitor the health of their coastline and assess the viability of rescuing stranded dolphins.
