About us
The American Shore & Beach Preservation Association is dedicated to preserving, protecting and enhancing the beaches, shores, and other coastal resources of America by merging science and public policy. We advocate for healthy, sustainable, and resilient coastal systems to sustain four interconnected core values provided by shores and beaches: community protection, a strong economy, ecologic health, and recreation. We fulfill our mission by: - Protecting and improving healthy and diverse recreational opportunities. - Managing, protecting and enhancing environmental resources. - Encouraging responsible and sustainable economic development. - Preserving aesthetic values. - Reducing damage from natural hazards and human activities. - Mitigating human impacts to natural processes. ASBPA recognizes that our shores, beaches, and coastal resources provide important quality-of-life assets within reach of the largest possible number of America’s citizenry from coast to coast, and along the Great Lakes.

Congratulations to SmithGroup’s #Waterfront group and the entire project team on receiving a Best Restored Beach award for the Illinois Beach State Park Shoreline Stabilization at this week’s ASBPA American Shore and Beach Preservation Association conference in Galveston. This innovative project protects and restores 6 miles of eroding shoreline and beach along with critical park habitat and infrastructure. Kudos to the team, Michels Construction, Inc., the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the Illinois Capital Development Board for creating a national benchmark along Lake Michigan and America’s #FreshCoast. https://lnkd.in/e82zgZKT #coastalresilience #coastalrestoration #shorelineprotection #DesignABetterFuture

I am very excited to share that I will be serving as a Co-Executive Editor for the venerable ASBPA American Shore and Beach Preservation Association Shore & Beach Journal with my friend and colleague Tiffany Roberts Briggs. We have big shoes to fill as our Executive Editor of the last 13 years, Lesley Ewing, pursues other passion projects. If you aren’t familiar with Shore & Beach, it is one of the longest running publications of #coastal science and engineering topics in the US. Check it out! https://lnkd.in/ecNxu8vR

PhD Student at Texas A&M University | Submarine Ecosystem | Geospatial Analysis | Coastal Management
I presented a poster at the ongoing National Coastal Conference organized by the ASBPA American Shore and Beach Preservation Association. In this project, I employed 2D electrical resistivity tomography and unstable isotopes to delineate cavities in a hypersaline estuary of the Everglades National Park. I characterized the influence of those karstic structures on subterranean groundwater dynamics. The overarching goal of this work would contribute to coastal hydrogeology and improve management insights. Going forward, I will replicate similar works at Galveston Bay, Gulf Coast. Thanks to Texas A&M University Galveston Campus. #marine #abspa2024 #teambeach #coastalmarine
