Members come from all over America's coastline, from Maine, to Florida, to California, to Alaska.
They include government entities and officials, tourist bureaus, business owners, academics, property owners, coastal residents, and many others. Members receive monthly news dispatches and updates on important legislative developments affecting coastal communities. Each member has access to ACC's legislative experts, who work closely with Congress, the White House, EPA, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Office of Management and Budget and federal agencies in shaping laws and regulations on coastal issues. In addition, members have access to technical information on coastal issues prepared by ACC's staff. ACC members also elect a board of directors annually.
