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 (ASBPA), which has, for a century, advanced a 
science-guided commitment to coastal restoration and protection;
Whereas, in 1926, in Asbury Park, New Jersey, the ASBPA'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--promoting community 
protection, a strong economy, ecological health, and recreation--remain 
as vital in 2026 as they were at the ASBPA's founding;
Whereas United States coastal communities and natural resources have benefitted 
from the ASBPA'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 ASBPA is celebrating its 100th anniversary: Now, 
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) recognizes and celebrates the 100th anniversary of the 
ASBPA;
(2) commemorates the centennial of the ASBPA, honoring a 
century of shore and beach preservation and progress; and
(3) congratulates the leaders and members of the ASBPA on a 
century of dedication to our Nation's shores and beaches and 
recognizes the enduring importance of its mission.
