Marinas and AMI Marinas and AMI The Association of Marina Industries is a non-profit membership organization dedicated to serving the needs of the marina industry. The AMI was formed when the Marina Operators Association of America and the International Marina Institute merged in 2005. The International Marina Institute will host a webinar entitled What Contributed to the Success of Southeast Florida Marinas During Hurricane Irma. Carl Wolf, an IMI instructor and longtime marina consultant, will discuss key findings at marinas he visited in the days after the storm hit Southeast Florida last September.
