About AMSEA

AMSEA's mission is to reduce injury and death in the marine and freshwater environment through education and training provided by a network of qualified marine safety instructors. 

 

With that core purpose, AMSEA has been offering marine safety training to commercial fishermen and thousands of other mariners since 1985.  With a network of instructors based in port communities on Alaska, Pacific, Gulf and Atlantic coasts, we provide affordable, effective, hands-on marine safety training close to home. AMSEA's 10-hour and 18-hour Drill Conductor courses are USCG accepted and meet requirements for fishermen onboard commercial fishing vessels.  Classes are offered year-round in ports across the country.

​

AMSEA offers marine safety training for traditional harvest and recreational boaters, youth and women boaters. We also provide contract classes for businesses, agencies, and organizations. Marine Safety Instructor Training is also an option for those interested in teaching.

 

Since 1985, AMSEA has trained over 200,000 people, including more than 1,600 AMSEA Instructors.
