The Florida Shore & Beach Preservation Association
is a very different kind of state associationwhich is the
source of our effectiveness.
On the one hand,
we function as a "league of cities and counties" on beach
and coastal issues. Most coastal cities and counties are members.
This gives us enormous clout in the Florida Legislature. On the
other hand, FSBPA represents more than 1,000 private citizens concerned
about beach preservation. We provide these citizens with a forum
and a strong voice. This public-private partnership is vital to
get local beach projects off the ground.
How
FSBPA Functions
-
Lobbying the Florida Legislature
and Congress on beach preservation issues and funding.
-
Working with local, state
and federal agencies to promote beach preservation projects.
-
Through our local chapters,
building local support to get new projects off the ground.
-
Through publications and
conferences, educating public officials and the general public
on the best ways to deal with erosion.
