About the Network
The Beach Network is a group of individuals and institutions working together to provide healthy, safe beaches for people to enjoy while preserving their delicate ecology.

We are beach managers, scientists, technicians and concerned citizens who want to share information on the latest research and technology available. This includes all aspects of beach safety, health and management, marine and freshwater, lakes and riverine, private and public.

Our communications exist primarily via this website, i.e. the forums and listserv. We will hold annual meetings concurrently with venues such as the National Beach Association, IWA, Clean Beaches Council or regional associations.

Contact Us!
To become a member, join our listserve, or contact us with any questions, e-mail: safebeaches@gmail.com.
