POSITION SUMMARY The mission of Alaska Marine Safety Education Association (AMSEA) 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. In Southeast Alaska, many of us work, live, and recreate on the water. While many Southeast Alaska youths enjoy this way of life, it also means that they face constantly changing risks and hazards. Training school aged children in this region is critical for increasing their chance of survival in an emergency. Training youth is also key in improving marine safety culture to reduce marine fatalities locally and globally. DESCRIPTION OF DUTIES
