S. RES. 659
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
RESOLUTION
Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association.
Whereas the year 2026 marks the centennial of the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association (in this preamble referred to as the Association
), which has for a century advanced a science-guided commitment to coastal restoration and protection;
Whereas, in 1926, the Association's visionary leaders sought to establish a forum where the novice and he who has long wrestled with these problems can seek more light; where the man of science and the statesman can exchange ideas and collaborate together; where idealist and lover of Nature and the economist can arrive at a mutual understanding; where landscape artist and philanthropist can find an outlet for their activities,
thereby fostering collaboration and innovation for coastal stewardship;
Whereas the critical issues of shore and beach preservation, which promote community protection, a strong economy, ecological health, and recreation, remain as vital in 2026 as they were at the time of the Association’s founding;
Whereas United States coastal communities and natural resources have benefitted from the Association's work in translating coastal science and engineering, guiding policy, and advocating for resilient shores and beaches over the past century; and
Whereas, in 2026, the Association is celebrating its 100th anniversary: Now, therefore, be it
That the Senate—
recognizes and celebrates the 100th anniversary of the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association (in this resolution referred to as the Association
);
commemorates the centennial of the Association, honoring a century of shore and beach preservation and progress; and
congratulates the leaders and members of the Association on a century of dedication to the shores and beaches of the United States and recognizes the enduring importance of its mission.
