Shaping Shores

The American Shore & Beach Preservation Association (ASBPA) will commemorate its centennial in 2026 featuring a bold vision for the future. ASBPA is launching a centennial podcast, “Shaping Shores” with different series to celebrate ASBPA’s 100 heroes, ASBPA Chapters, and to walk through ASBPA’s history. Episodes will go live in January and lead up to the 2026 National Coastal Conference in Atlantic City, NJ. 

 

Podcast episodes will be recorded with ASBPA’s Executive Director, Nicole Elko and cohosts from the coastal community now through the first quarter of 2026. Recordings will be edited for clarity and formatted for distribution online and culminate in a centennial video focused on the enduring legacy and future vision of ASBPA.
