Training and Education
NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R) offers educational resources for teachers and students, as well as various workshops and self-study options to spill response professionals in local, state, and federal governments and industry.
The goal of this training is to transfer scientific expertise and experience to the broadest possible audience. Successful training promotes more efficient planning and spill response, while education fosters scientific understanding and helps everyone prevent and prepare for marine pollution.
