Franklin County joins Florida Shore and beach Preservation Society

Franklin County has agreed to rejoin the Florida Shore and Beach Preservation Association.

The group acts as a league of coastal cities and counties focused on the preservation of Florida’s sandy beaches.

The group provides information to the Florida Legislature and Congress on beach preservation issues and funding and also works with local, state, and federal agencies to promote effective beach management.

Franklin County was the only coastal county in Florida not already a member.

The County did have a membership in the past, but dropped out when we stopped having beach re-nourishment projects.

The membership costs 500 dollars a year – District 1 commissioner Rick Watson said he would represent the county on the board though there is no requirement to attend the meetings.
