Association of Marina Industries Releases RFP for Development of New Marina Resilience Curriculum

March 17, 2026

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 Long‑term 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.

Key RFP Dates

              • RFP Release: March 2, 2026

              • Deadline for Questions: March 16, 2026

              • Proposal Due Date: April 13, 2026

Questions regarding the RFP may be directed to ACuomo@MarinaAssociation.org. All submitted questions will be publicly posted, along with official responses, by March 16, 2026, via the public Google document linked in the RFP.

AMI encourages interested and qualified parties to review the full RFP and submit a proposal. The resulting curriculum will play a critical role in supporting marinas across the country as they work to adapt to evolving environmental challenges and improve long-term resilience.
