The Sea Glass Association was founded by a group of people who were first and foremost, avid sea glass collectors. They wanted to share their passion for the sea and it's gems with the world.

That's why this website is open to all, there are no membership fees, sign-ins or approval processes. Collectors, artists, authors, beach lovers and hopeless sea glass romantics from every continent have joined the NASGA community and what it offers free of charge.

NASGA, a non-profit organization, run by an all volunteer team, welcomes the collector and continues to add more and more for this very fast growing community base. With thousands receiving the Shorelines Newsletter twice annually, 7,000 attending the annual Sea Glass Festival, thousands taking advantage of the educational lectures at the festival and even more visiting the site every week, NASGA continues its commitment to serving sea glass enthusiasts from around the globe.
