History of the Florida Shore & Beach Preservation Association The
Florida Shore & Beach Preservation Association was organized
in 1957 at a meeting of 37 local government and university leaders
concerned about the growing problem of beach erosion that had virtually
destroyed important resort beaches such as Miami Beach. They recognized
that erosion was a statewide problem that couldn't be handled by
individual cities and counties alone. The first acts of the newly created FSBPA were to persuade the 1957 Legislature to get the State of Florida involved in beach preservation. Two landmark bills were passed to:
Since then, FSBPA has spearheaded every important improvement in Florida's beach preservation program. Thanks largely to FSBPA's efforts, Florida leads the nation in beach preservation. More than 160 miles of beaches have been re-nourished. More projects are planned. FSBPA is a non-profit corporation with offices in Tallahassee close to the state capitol. We enjoy 501-(c) (3) tax exempt status with the IRS as an educational organization. The following strategic document was adopted by the Board of Directors, Florida Shore and Beach Preservation Association on July 10, 2000. Its purpose is to provide guidance for the Association in priorities and allocating resources over time. It represents our long-term plan of action to sustain the health of the organization, protect the state dedicated funding source for beach management, and promote a viable shore-protection partnership with the federal government. Enhanced educational and public relations initiatives are noted. This general plan of goals, objectives and implementation options is supported by a working set of specific tasks and timetables considered by the Board in September. This in-house operating document will serve as the baseline for annual allocation of staff and financial resources, setting annual lobbying priorities, and frequent Board review of performance.
