Membership Overview and Benefits

Membership:

Over 7% of Whatcom County’s workforce is involved in the maritime sector, and each member in the Coalition is important to the continued economic engine and vibrancy that our waterfronts provide. Our members represent the many men and women working hard each and every day to ensure that Whatcom’s waterfronts work for all. The Coalition, a membership-based organization, works to sustain our waterfronts, and exchange ideas to further the sustainability of our communities. We provide a unified voice for the maritime sector, to promote economic stability, and work collaboratively with our 120+ members and other stakeholders to resolve issues that threaten the livelihood of marine trades and our maritime sector in Whatcom County. Additionally, members work together to provide job fair and internship opportunities, scholarships to students at Bellingham Technical College pursuing technical training in program areas relating to marine trades, and recently, to launch an apprenticeship program. We look forward to offering even more in the future!

When you join the Working Waterfront Coalition, you partner with leaders in the maritime sector all committed to sustaining and enhancing our region’s working waterfronts.
