The American Littoral Society promotes the study and conservation of marine life and habitat, protects the coast from harm, and empowers others to do the same.
Since 1961 we have empowered people to care for the coast through advocacy, conservation, and education. We not only provide a voice for the coast, but also give concerned citizens the knowledge and tools they need to raise their voices with us. When we restore habitat, our objective is not only to restore a dune or rebuild an oyster reef, but also to motivate people to invest “sweat equity” into a piece of the coast, take ownership and become committed stewards. When we educate, we don’t merely provide books, CDs, or handouts. We lead students young and old into the water to get their feet wet and their hands muddy. Sitting at a computer or reading a book, people may develop an interest in the coast; standing knee deep in sea foam with sand between their toes, they will develop a passion for the coast. |

Event Spotlight:
Join the Virtual SPOOKY WALK and Grab a Scary Shirt to Commemorate the Occasion
Virtual Guided Tour Underway
Click Here to Get Started
Every year, around Halloween, the American Littoral Society hosts an after-dark tour of Fort Hancock in the Sandy Hook Unit of Gateway National Recreation Area.
Our Spooky Walk has always been one of our most popular annual events, thanks in no small part to the stories and history imparted by our intrepid guide Jeff Dement (who moonlights as Littoral Society Fish Tagging Director).
Unfortunately, due to precautions surrounding Covid-19, we can't host large, in-person activities this year.
However, we've come up with a way to help you do the Spooky Walk on your own. And we've created a special T-shirt to commemorate the occasion.
As for the Spooky Walk shirts, they're available now in Two Eye-Catching Designs, which can be purchased through Bonfire.com. Both the Neutral Palette and Colorful Palette versions are available in a number of colors, sizes and styles for both adults and children - including short-sleeve, long-sleeve and sweatshirt. Prices vary depending on style of shirt.
Purchase yours by Oct. 10 if you want them in time to wear on Halloween. However, they will continue to be available through the end of the month.
