The American Shore and Beach Preservation Association
The American Shore and Beach Preservation Association was founded in 1926 by individuals who recognized the need for
an organized effort to combat erosion, a serious problem in many coastal areas.
The founding members of the Association were active in persuading the Congress to enact legislation authorizing Federal
sharing of the cost, first of erosion studies of specific problem areas and, later, of project works.
Recognizing the great diversity of our coasts, the Association encourages regional workshops, as well as
national meetings to benefit those working with our shores and beaches.
