 American Shore and Beach Preservation Association, ASBPA, is an organization of coastal practitioners. We work both on science and policy to advance efforts to build and restore our nation's shoreline. We often think of beaches as important for recreation, but beaches also provide a critical function of protection and protecting the communities that are behind those beaches from coastal storms, from sea level rise, from the hazards that come with living along the coast. And unfortunately, those beaches are often, many of them in the Gulf Coast, are eroding. We're seeing a loss of sand, a loss of sediment. And so groups like ASBPA and our partners on the ground are working to restore those beaches to maintain and build those, the protective beach and dune structures that provide community protection. What do you need from federal agencies in order to protect our shorelines? The most important things that the federal government does is provide federal appropriations. So the annual appropriations bills that fund the Army Corps of Engineers, that fund NOAA, that fund the U.S. Geological Survey and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, these are bills that need to be passed every year. But even at that sort of regular appropriations level, it's not enough funding. Increasingly we're seeing the funding for coastal resilience come out of disaster supplemental bills. So bills that are coming out after a disaster that are funding the kind of resilience that should have been done before the disaster. So it's sort of a backwards situation. However, that is the one major source of resilience funding that is coming from the federal government right now. So those disaster supplemental bills are essential. And then the other big source of funding that is really critical is going to be a federal infrastructure package. And critical part of that is maintaining our coastal infrastructure and critically our natural infrastructure. So we need to make sure that beaches, dunes and wetlands are part of any infrastructure package. Lots of other bills out there that can help supplement this effort. There's a Living Shorelines Act that was recently introduced. There's a Coastal Communities Adaptation Act that would help coastal communities adapt to the impacts of sea level rise. So other good legislation out there.
