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 publications and conferences, educating
public officials and the general public on the best ways to deal with
erosion.
