AMI Releases RFP for Development of New Marina Resilience Curriculum

The Association of Marina Industries (AMI) has announced the release of a new Request for Proposal (RFP) seeking qualified organizations and subject matter experts to develop a comprehensive Marina Resiliency Curriculum – Preparedness, Response, Recovery, and Longterm Planning. This new training module will be integrated into AMI’s established Clean and Resilient Marina Program (CRMP) to help marina professionals nationwide strengthen their operational resilience amid increasing climate-related risks.

As extreme weather events and environmental disruptions continue to impact coastal infrastructure, AMI is expanding its educational offerings to ensure marina operators have the knowledge, tools and strategies needed to prepare, respond, recover and plan effectively. The selected partner will develop approximately four hours of instructional material, including lecture content, case studies, visual aids, handouts and instructor guidance.
