We’re asking you all summer long to say ... but what does that really mean?

Saying tells legislators that our beaches are important and deserve funding. The American Coastal Coalition is not only rallying the troops, we are giving you a way to act! Here is your guide to the actions and resources helping America say . Visit our website for all fact sheets and actions

Our coasts are more than just vacation destinations.

Beaches and coastal communities are economic engines for the US. They drive hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue and taxes, all while providing public outdoor recreation and protecting billions of dollars in coastal infrastructure.

Healthy beaches promote a healthy economy. Join the fight to protect our national and coastal economies!

Today, the City of Venice is joining American Coastal Coalition members across the country to launch the 2026 campaign, to demonstrate publicsupport for America's beaches.

Coastal communities deserve a unified voice. 129 million Americans live within 50 miles of the coast. Our beaches protect communities from storms, power local economies and ecosystems, and belong to all of us.

All summer long, we're making sure Congress hears us loud and clear. We will be campaigning around the issues that matter most: economic & environmental impact, storm protection, community highlights, and direct calls to action for you and our representatives in Congress.

Happy Memorial Day from the American Coastal Coalition!

As beach towns across the country gear up for the unofficial start of summer, and as we gather with family and friends this weekend, it is important to remember the true meaning of this day.

The ACC honors the brave men and women who laid down their lives for our country and freedom. Their legacy will never be forgotten.

On January 28th, 2026, ACC’s Executive Director, Dan Ginolfi, joined a panel hosted by the House Coastal Communities Caucus for an educational briefing on beach nourishment. 3 key takeaways below.

Thank you to Rep. Dave Min’s office for organizing the event.

🚨 Coastal Funding Alert 🚨 Congress’s proposed federal beach nourishment funding for FY2026 is dangerously low. Even the Senate’s higher figure of $62.2 million is $137.8 million short of the $200 million needed to protect our beaches and vital coastal economy, which generates over $36 billion in federal state and local taxes annually.

This massive shortfall means is essential projects, like those urgently needed in New Jersey after recent storms, won’t move forward. Beaches are basic infrastructure that multibillion dollar economies rely on.

Support the fight! Our coasts depend on it.
