Darryl Schaefermeyer
Operations Director Emeritus,
Alaska SeaLife Center
Starting as a Project Administrator in 1993 for the Seward Association for the Advancement of Marine Science, Darryl Schaefermeyer was highly instrumental in creating a marine research, wildlife rehabilitation, and public education institution in Seward, Alaska. He supported this vision through establishing strategic and beneficial partnerships, identifying and securing funding, management of design and construction contracting, and ultimately supporting all aspects of operations of Alaska’s premier public aquarium, the Alaska SeaLife Center.
He has given over 25 years of commitment and dedicated service to the Center and has held multiple critical roles including General Manager. While there have been many, one of Darryl’s most notable contributions has been the installation of the Alaska SeaLife Center’s innovative heat pump systems, which use saltwater from the icy waters of Resurrection Bay to heat the 120,000 square foot facility, and in his words, “illustrates the broad and tangible ways in which our day-to-day work can contribute to the long-term health and sustainability of our city, our state, and the global community.”
Under Darryl’s leadership, the Center acquired grant funds from the State of Alaska in 2014 to design and install an 80 ton trans-critical CO2 heat pump system with heat recovery to offset 95% usage of an existing 500KW electric boiler for space, domestic hot water, and outdoor sidewalk heating.
Darryl formerly worked as staff assistant to United States Senator Ted Stevens and as City Manager of Seward, Alaska. He holds a BA in Political Science from Brigham Young University.
