I am pleased to announce that the next US Fish and Wildlife Service Electrofishing Course will be held at the University of New South Wales Kensington Campus during the last week of October, supported by electrofishing.net and the UNSW Wetlands and Rivers Centre.

Dr Alan Temple, from the USFWS National Conservation Training Center will be teaching the course, assisted by Colton Perna. The course will consist of two days of classroom-based teaching focusing on electrofishing theory and safety, plus a day of field-based demonstrations and hands-on teaching – possibly at nearby Centennial Park.

The cost of the course will be AUD $1000 per person, including catering of lunch, morning tea and afternoon tea (payment details to be announced soon – either by UNSW invoice or credit card). Accommodation is
available close to the UNSW campus, or near Central Station (20 minutes by express bus).

Please register your intent to attend (or a list of attendees from your institution) by email to thomas.rayner@unsw.edu.au. The course will be limited to 30 students. If there is sufficient interest, a second course may be held during the following week, 2 November. Participants that successfully complete the final exam will receive a certificate from the USFWS.

See you there,

Tom Rayner.
