Since 1961, the American Littoral Society has empowered people to care for the coast through advocating, learning, and conserving. Founded by divers and naturalists with a desire to learn more about the littoral zone, today our more than 5,000 members in 49 states are scientists, naturalists, environmentalists, divers, fishing enthusiasts, and citizens from all walks of life. We live on the coast, near the coast, and even far from the coast.

Headquartered on Sandy Hook in Highlands, New Jersey, we are a non-profit organization with chapters serving the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Southeast regions. We invite you to join us as we learn about, enjoy, and explore the coast and work to conserve its beauty and bounty for our generation and generations to come.
