History
Founded in 1997, Coordinated Maritime Services of San Diego™ is a 501c3
nonprofit organization dedicated to maritime information, education, and
industry outreach with classroom instruction and hands on training at CMS
Maritime Learning Center™ in Barrio Logan and aboard CMS school ships.
CMS provides maritime education, hands–on training, and career development.
Executive Director Captain Bentley developed a comprehensive state approved
ROP course in maritime career exploration and Professional Maritime Studies
and Training™. CMS is the only organization that focuses on the working
waterfront. With the donation of sailboats, tugboats, and other projects,
the exclusive CMS Training Module is hands–on, project–based training in
conjunction with classroom instruction.
CMS delivers a continual infusion of much needed next generation students and adult work force to the waterfront.
Continuing curriculum encourages education through self–study, paid/unpaid
work experience, job shadowing, apprenticeships, and internships. Post secondary
education opportunties are presented. The skills young people and adults acquire
last a lifetime and affect future income potential while offering a chance to
become independent and self–supporting.
Through leadership, assistance, and expertise, CMS helps to interpret, preserve,
and promote San Diego’s maritime heritage and make available important
maritime related resources.
Vision
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish and you

Strategic Alliances
CMS builds strategic alliances with waterfront commerce and industry, tidelands
business, government at all levels, and other related organizations. These
alliances will focus on identifying, developing, promoting, and delivering quality
career awareness and training resources to young men and women; develop and implement
internship, apprenticeship, and training programs and outreach to employable adults
in transition.
San Diego’s Maritime Industry-Statistics
The maritime industry is vitally important for San Diego. More than 25% of San
Diego’s gross regional product ($16 billion annual economic output) stems
from United States Government and Unified Port District waterfront activities.
According to the Port of San Diego’s statistics, San Diego comprises 27
miles of shoreline, 1,600 acres of industrial and commercial land use, and 6,000
acres of military land. Port cities are Chula Vista, Coronado, Imperial Beach,
National City, and San Diego.
Advancement of Maritime Occupations
Coordinated Maritime Services is dedicated to the pride of American Maritime. We
seek to promote and preserve America’s maritime heritage and industry here in San
Diego. CMS encourages merchant marine skills providing education, training, and
career opportunities. The maritime profession uses waterways for commerce,
transportation, defense, and recreation. It is also uses the traditions and skills,
arts and crafts, artifacts and documents, and buildings, structures, and vessels
that reflect our past maritime endeavors.
Strategic Planning/Data Collection/Evaluation
CMS’ Waterfront Workforce Development™ seeks to advance this awareness
and internship program to promote a continual infusion of next generation students
and young people to the maritime world. Maritime related careers are often overlooked
by vocational counselors. There are many opportunities for the college bound student
as well as the vocational trades. Through leadership, assistance, and expertise, we
will help to interpret, preserve, and promote the maritime heritage in San Diego
and make available maritime related resources.
Target Population/Market Segmentation/Diversity
Adults in transition, San Diego County school districts, existing programs, and
counselors to identify need areas of student and youth population to stimulate an
interest in obtaining information about the maritime industry as a possible career
choice. Target at risk youth and disadvantaged families to explore positive career
objectives. Youths: grades 9-12; ages 17-21, community and university college
students, San Diego County residents.
