Mid-Atlantic Chapter, ASBPA

About Us

The Mid-Atlantic Chapter (MAC) of ASBPA’s mission is, “Working regionally for healthy, sustainable, and resilient coastal and shoreline systems.” The MAC mailing list provides updates to members to educate them about projects and issues occurring in the region. Meetings are held both in-person, in conjunction with similar partner organizations, as well as online so that as many members as possible can be engaged in the workings and direction of the chapter.

Please note: In October 2020 the Central East Coast Chapter of ASBPA was renamed the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of ASBPA and the chapter boundaries were reduced.
