Invest in our coastal infrastructure

February 14, 2017asbpa_webArmy Corps, beach nourishment, Beneficial Use, coastal infrastructure, Congress, Economy, infrastructure, jobs, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

When the word “infrastructure” comes up, most people think of steel and concrete, bridges and ports. But our water and coastal infrastructure is just as critical to the American economy and creates (and protects) just as many jobs, but does so with sand and sediment, roots and grass. Infrastructure refers to the structures, systems, and…

On Wednesday, Feb. 8th, American Shore and Beach Preservation Association (ASBPA) President, Anthony P. (Tony) Pratt testified about the need for federal investment in coastal infrastructure such as beaches, dunes and wetlands at the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee hearing, “Oversight: Modernizing our Nation’s Infrastructure.” Pratt is the Administrator for Shoreline and Waterway Management at…

Investing in our natural infrastructure

November 8, 2016asbpa_webcoastal infrastructure, ecology, Economy, funding, marshes, wetlands

When you hear the word “infrastructure,” what do you think? Probably roads, bridges, dams, sewer systems, power grids… man-made and machine-driven, the industrial veins and arteries that keep this country moving and its economy alive. But what about our natural infrastructure? Those aspects of nature that play as much (or more) of a role in…

Investing in the Coast Pays Off

April 25, 2016asbpaEconomy, Tourism

Thanks to ongoing research, we know how much America’s coast contributes to the national economy. But what does that mean on a local level? The national economic impact of beaches is clear – in tourism and taxes, in revenues and returns on investment. Consider these facts: Beaches help generate $225 billion a year for the…

Don’t Take Your Coast for Granted

April 1, 2016asbpaEconomy, Tourism

It’s too easy to take the coast (and good coastal management) for granted. Some of this is human nature, of course. People are drawn to disaster and destruction, not so much to resilience and recovery. “Dog bites man” is not news, but “man bites dog” might be. So, too, it is with natural disasters. So,…

Who Speaks for Your Community’s Coast?

December 22, 2015asbpaEconomy, Stakeholders

Who speaks for your community’s coast? Do you know who these advocates are and how they stand up for your coast? If you are concerned about the coast and don’t know the answers to these questions, it is imperative you dig a little deeper to find out more. In the ideal, there should be an…

This Holiday Season, Remember Your Coast

December 8, 2015asbpaCoastal Facts, Economy

All year long our coast gives us protection for our homes, communities and businesses. It gives us peaceful places to recreate. It provides homes and nesting-resting-feasting places for myriad wildlife, including endangered and threatened species. It provides livelihoods to people and value to property. It truly is a wonderful place. That’s why more than 50%…
