Chapter Initiatives

From protecting our natural dune system to decreasing our carbon footprint to reducing plastic pollution, Our chapter initiatives help ensure that our marine ecosystems are protected.

Beach Access

Our beaches are the entryway to our ocean and other waterways and we believe they should be accessible to everyone. This is why our network of experts, volunteers, and members work with local decision-making bodies to evaluate each beach and waterway access issue that arises.
