About Clean Beaches Council

The United States coast, where the land and rivers meet the sea and great waters, is a special, valuable and complex place. Coastal recreation, maritime commerce, and jobs such as fishing make the coast a vital part of the American way of life. While progress has been made in recent years to protect this great national resource, the safety, health, and environmental conditions of many areas continues to deteriorate. Clean Beaches Council was established to seek solutions to these problems.

Clean Beaches Council Organization

Since its inception, CBC has developed innovative approaches to coastal management and protection of human health and the environment. Our flagship program is the Blue Wave Campaign - America's first environmental certification program for beaches.
