Friends of Stump Pass (FOSP) was established in 2018 by a group of passionate volunteers. Their mission is to preserve nature and protect wildlife by connecting people to the unspoiled beauty of Stump Pass Beach State Park.
Friends of Stump Pass is a division of Barrier Islands Park Society, a nonprofit organization and the official citizen support organization for Cayo Costa, Gasparilla Island, Stump Pass Beach and Don Pedro Island state parks. Barrier Island Parks Society was established in 1989 to inspire the exploration and preservation of Florida's natural and historic treasures.
