Marinas and yacht clubs across California are invited to participate in a free Spill Response Communication Workshop hosted by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Office of Spill Prevention and Response (OSPR), the California State Parks Division of Boating and Waterways, and the California Coastal Commission.
Scheduled for Thursday, June 19, 2025, from 9:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m., the workshop will be offered both in-person and online. In-person attendance will take place at Encinal Yacht Club, located at 1251 Pacific Marina in Alameda, with free parking available.
