We are in the middle of hurricane season, and here’s what you need to know!

Because of the formation of an El Nino event, NOAA is predicting a below-normal hurricane season (55% chance) in the Atlantic, but an above-normal hurricane season (70% likely) in the Pacific.

But predictions don’t change the fact that just one storm could be detrimental. Coastal defenses matter every season, and each community needs to be prepared.

This is why beach nourishment is so important. Healthy beaches mean safer communities, stronger local economies, and coastlines that can bounce back faster after a storm.

This hurricane season, join us in saying #YEStoBeaches. Protecting our shores means protecting everyone who lives near them.

Thanks again to Ted Kingston for the pictures. ... See MoreSee Less

Whether it is bolstering recreation & tourism industries, supporting local businesses, or protecting coastlines, beaches are public assets that are essential to local coastal economies. Here are the fast facts:

Beach tourism generates $520 Billion in economic output.
Coastal communities produce an annual $10 trillion in goods & services.

40% of the US population lives in coastal counties that rely on this protection.

Let’s live in a world that protects these assets. #YEStoBeaches
