As lighthouses became less essential to navigation, many of their historic structures faced demolition or neglect. In the United States, the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000 provides for the transfer of lighthouse structures to local governments and private non-profit groups, while the USCG continues to maintain the lamps and lenses. In Canada, the Nova Scotia Lighthouse Preservation Society won heritage status for Sambro Island Lighthouse, and sponsored the Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act to change Canadian federal laws to protect lighthouses.[24]

Many groups formed to restore and save lighthouses around the world. They include the World Lighthouse Society and the United States Lighthouse Society.[25] A further international group is the Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society, which sends amateur radio operators to publicize the preservation of remote lighthouses throughout the world.

Random soup about me.... I am a daughter, sister, friend, mother of 5 and photographer. My children are my world and how I got into this business over 7 years ago. Born and raised in upstate NY I have always longed to call the Sunshine State my home, and fortunately do. The salt filled breeze and swaying palms speak to me like no other place does. Besides being a mom and photographer I love; coffee, sunshine, road trips, tattoos, Christmas, Halloween, baseball, camping, and zombies. https://www.facebook.com/theanchoredlens or http://theanchoredlens.com/
