This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to research and critically analyse specialised information on marine environments to develop interpretive themes and messages. It highlights the need for ongoing research to update and expand knowledge. This unit applies across many industry sectors and has particular application to guides who work in marine parks, aquaria, on cruise or dive boats or in resort areas where there is strong visitor interest in the marine environment. In this context, guides work independently to research and prepare interpretive content. The skills in this unit must be applied in accordance with Commonwealth and State/Territory legislation, Australian/New Zealand standards and industry codes of practice. No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
