A National Open Beaches Act Would Return Beaches to Their Rightful Owners
- "By dedicating beaches to the states for use by the public, Congress would be declaring an end to the destructive — and futile — attempts by private property owners to hold back the sea. It would ensure a better future for America’s coasts and restore one of our founding legal principles. We would not be confiscating private property, but merely recognizing who owned it all along: us." - excerpt from opinion piece in the NY Times.
