The Florida Shore & Beach Preservation Association is a very different kind of state association—which 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.
