JKA staff get WiSe

Gary Kemp, Krista Hairon, Chantal Quaeck and Derek Hairon  are the first to be accredited Wild Life Safe (WiSe) guides.

The course was a joint initiative between Planning and Environment and Jersey Tourism. It was run by Stephen Westcott and Colin Speedie of Wildlife Safe (WiSe) UK.

The WiSe scheme is the only programme in the UK offering training and accreditation to outdoor activities specialists interested in the development of sustainable marine eco-tourism. The course is the national standard for companies running eco-tours to observe marine wild life.

This was a great opportunity to learn about good practice and to obtain nationally recognised training. We are one of the first companies to obtain this award in Jersey.
