The Maritime Primary and Secondary Education Coalition (MPSEC) actively promotes the advancement of maritime education within our country’s primary and secondary schools, with a strong emphasis on cultivating the culture of sharing resources and fostering collaborative efforts. Our goal is to introduce this critically important industry to educators and students and help them identify “the engine of global trade” as a career option.

This mission is executed through a well-connected network involving local, state, and federal agencies, private employers, maritime associations, institutions of higher education, and various dedicated partners who are keen on collaborating to enhance maritime education’s effectiveness and reach.
