THIS YEAR'S
CONFERENCE
Coming off an outstanding year for Florida's beaches
In terms of a significant increase in -state project
funding for FY 2012 -13, and passage by the Legislature
of a ;permitting reform package initiated by FSBPA,
there will be ample opportunity to celebrate at this
year's conference. We anticipate some very special
award winners, and have invited Governor Scott to
acknowledge and express the appreciation of FSBPA and
its coastal government communities for his support of
the state's beach management program and his specific
recognition of beaches as "amazing resources"
Yet, the major focus of the 2012 program will continue
to be on issues and concerns that may impact the
sustainability of Florida's beach program in the future.
We hope this conference has found the proper balance
- important discussion and a good time!
Additional conference announcements: will be made
on -line and in e-mail blasts. for Thursday afternoon,
September 27, we are planning a DEP Q&A Session,
led by Danielle fondren, Chief, Bureau of Beaches and
Coastal Systems, with the dredging industry, and coastal
engineering and other professional interests, as well as a
boat trip focusing on Wiggins Pass and inlet management.
Further details on both will be forthcoming.
