| Florida Beach Access Amendment |
 |
| Initiative: | Beach Access |
|
| Chapter(s): | Florida - state wide |
|
| Description: | The Florida Open Beaches Act would ensure that citizens are able to save existing accesses to Florida beaches, all of which are designated as public shore land under the Florida Constitution. A key feature of the act addresses the increasingly problematic issue of gaining perpendicular access as the coast becomes more further developed. Among U.S.'s three largest coastal states, only Florida does not have a comprehensive law to protect citizens' access to public beaches. We scored an important victory in early 2005 by securing a legislative sponsor for the act and a legal battle in Ponte Vedra. We continue to gather public support for this act. |
