Preservation

Edit

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.[46]

Many groups formed to restore and save lighthouses around the world,
including the World Lighthouse Society and the United States Lighthouse
Society,[47] as well as the Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society, which sends
amateur radio operators to publicize the preservation of remote
lighthouses throughout the world.[48]
