Initiatives of the North Carolina
Beach and Shore Preservation Association

NCSBPA exists to encourage and develop public and governmental awareness of the need for preservation of North Carolina shores and beaches; to coordinate and promote public and private efforts to restore and preserve North Carolina's shores and beaches; to aid in informing and otherwise educating the public and various governmental authorities as to the environmental, economic and social impact and importance of North Carolina's shore and beach resources; and to work in unison with the other state and national associations toward the common goal of preserving and restoring the valued shores and beaches of the United States of America.

The Association has Three Major Initiatives:

An education initiative with a goal to make North Carolina citizens aware of the recreational, economic, and environmental value of the shores and beaches in our state and the effective methods now available to preserve them for future generations.
A North Carolina legislative and executive advocacy initiative with a goal to help legislators and state officials understand the recreational, economic and environmental value of the shores and beaches so that they might support legislation designed to protect these assets.
A coalition-building initiative with a goal to identify and work with the groups in North Carolina which are currently involved in beach preservation activities
