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. |
Program Spotlight: Development
Help the Littoral Society Care for the Coast
We are living in a time of a changing climate and rising sea levels. The changes we are experiencing pose threats to the health of our estuaries, bays and coast.
Our coastal communities depend on a clean and healthy ocean and coast for our economic well-being and our safety, and you can help!
The American Littoral Society empowers people to care for the coast. Through advocacy, conservation, and education, the Society continues to champion efforts that make our coastal landscape the healthiest it can be.
From building oyster reefs in the Delaware Bay, to educating ocean advocates all over the country, the Society relies on supporters like you to join your voice to ours to speak out for a healthy coast.
In the face of a changing climate and rising sea levels, your support of our work to protect the coast is critical.
Please make a one-time or recurring donation to our Annual Appeal to support the Society. Your gift, combined with those of others, enables us to accomplish our work of coastal conservation, and protect all the benefits the coastline brings to our lives.
