Staff training would provide comprehensive skills for the NGO group, as the staff will be involved with some of the basic responsibility for imple- menting the management plan. The essential objective would be to train the group in techniques and methodology for the whole program, which would include search and survey techniques, advanced maritime archaeo- logical techniques, and resource management training.
The CRM program, following the basic training, would then move on to recruit local commercial-sector operators–in both the dive charter and the normal tourist area—who would be interested in cooperating with the program. With the identification of additional interest groups, a series of workshops could be conducted to involve them in the program.
Training and education programs could be run for visiting tourist divers, to assist the program. These could operate along the lines of the NAS Train- ing Program. They could be conducted in conjunction with the local tourism industry mutually benefiting all parties.
