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 virtually every important component of Florida's beach preservation program. Thanks largely to FSBPA's efforts, Florida leads the nation in beach preservation. Over 200 miles of beaches have been nourished. More projects are planned. FSBPA is a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit entity with offices in Tallahassee. |
