The Capitol Beach Year in Review

December 18, 2019Press Releases, The Capitol Beach Podcastasbpa_ed

Over the course of ten shows in 2019, The Capitol Beach spoke with members of congress, federal agency staff, and decision-makers who set policy and direct billions of dollars of funding for coastal restoration and research. The podcast is intended to bring everyone into the coastal “room where it happens” in our nation’s Capitol. One thing we learn about policy-making is that the people and personalities making the policy are just as influential as the content and purpose of the policy. So The Capitol Beach also takes the time to help you get to know some of our guests: what their background is, what motivates them, and of course what their favorite beach is!

Podcast Host

ASBPA Executive Director, Derek Brockbank, hosts this semi-regular podcast. Prior to starting with ASBPA, Derek worked as campaign director for a coalition effort to restore the Mississippi River Delta and Coastal Louisiana, and was part of a gulf-wide campaign to pass the RESTORE Act, securing billions of dollars for Gulf Coast restoration. This followed up on his work with National Wildlife Federation on climate adaption. Derek started his career as a grassroots organizer. Derek grew up in New York City and got his coastal education from an early age playing on the beaches of Long Island, and kayaking and fishing in Peconic Bay.
