American Littoral Society
Protecting the Coast through Education, Conservation and Advocacy
|
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. |

Art to Benefit Conservation:
Buy a Limited Edition Red Knot Shirt

|
As part of the program An Epic Journey: Red Knots and the Western Atlantic Flyway, the American Littoral Society and The Red Knots Project are offering a limited-run Red Knot shirt.
Featuring Janet Essley's painting Endurance: Multi-day, Non-Stop Migration Flights, the shirts will only be sold until May 25. The shirts come in long- and short-sleeve styles, various colors, and sizes for adults and youth. Orders will ship directly to you beginning June 2.
Artist Janet Essley and biologist Lee Tibbitts collaborate with organizations to use the artwork of Red Knots: A Cultural Cartography to promote conservation, environmental, and educational efforts.
The paintings depict aspects of Red Knot behavior at a particular location along their migration route and in a style that represents that region. The paintings are arranged geographically, from the northern breeding range, across the migratory route to the non-breeding range in the south. Learn more about the art and artists at The Red Knots Project.
