Founded in 1926, ASBPA promotes the integration of science, policies and actions that maintain, protect and enhance the coasts of America. As America’s only association focused on the science and policies of coastal management, ASBPA is happy to work with media outlets and representatives both to offer background on coastal issues and interests and to connect reporters and editors with appropriate coastal contacts for use in coverage on the economic and environmental value of America’s shorelines to the nation.
