Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association.

Summary

Recognizes the 100th anniversary of the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association by making nonbinding factual findings that recount the Association’s 1926 founding purpose to promote collaboration among scientists, policymakers, philanthropists, and others for coastal stewardship. The resolution states that shore and beach preservation remains important for community protection, the economy, ecology, and recreation, and notes that U.S. coastal communities have benefited from the Association’s century of work. The measure is purely declaratory and symbolic: it expresses findings and appreciation but does not create new legal requirements, spending, or programs.
