As we celebrate our 100th anniversary in 2026, our mission has never been more crucial to the vitality of our beaches & shores.
Now more than ever, we must strengthen our efforts to ensure they remain resilient and vibrant for future generations.
Funds raised directly support training the next generation of coastal leaders, promoting science-based resilience policies,
and ensuring the long-term sustainability of coastal resilience.

We’re kicking off our 100th Anniversary Centennial Celebration with a look at where we’ve been, the people who shaped our path, and the bold future we’re building for our coasts.
Join us as we begin a year honoring the past and preparing the next generation for the century ahead through our #ASBPA100 celebrations.

Membership in the ASBPA is open to all who are interested in the protection, restoration and management of the shores and beaches of U.S. bays, harbors, oceans and great lakes. A majority of the membership is made up of coastal practitioners: engineers, scientists, planners, public officials, and others engaged in some phase of the management and operation of these important resources. ASBPA relies on many different types of members including governments, corporations, associations, educational institutions, libraries and individuals.
Conference and summit sponsors help defray the cost of our events, keeping individual registrations affordable and supporting the peer to peer education provided by these events. Additionally, sponsors are recognized by ASBPA in all conference materials and get their brand and products in front of hundreds of influential coastal practitioners and decision-makers.
