Naturalist Training

In past years, the sanctuary staff were able to offer an annual white shark naturalist training to help naturalists leading on-the-water wildlife viewing trips in Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary. While the class is no longer available, a list of some past training content and other resources that may be useful for naturalists and tour operators can be found below:

• Information on the rich diversity of biological resources found within the Sanctuary (PDF, 28MB);
• Training on how to provide a high-quality interpretive experience for the public (PDF, 1MB)
• Conservation messaging (PDF, 1.8MB) surrounding White Sharks;
• An overview of the regulations and permit program (PDF); and
• Outcomes of the Sanctuary's White Shark Stewardship Monitoring Program; and
• Suggested reading list (PDF) for more information on White Sharks.
