Mission: Since 1993, the Alabama Coastal Foundation (ACF) has worked to create a healthy balance between the conservation needs of our priceless coastal resources and the inevitable pressures of economic growth. We accomplish this by bringing together stakeholders with differing interests to facilitate mutually beneficial solutions. We provide fair and factual information to encourage responsible citizen action and we offer opportunities for individuals to play a vital role in preserving the environment and our coastal way of life.

Mission

Our mission is to improve and protect the quality of Alabama's coastal resources by identifying and solving problems through education, cooperation and participation.

How We Work

* We use an education-based approach to conservation: to find the solution, you must understand the problem.

* We pursue practical solutions to conservation challenges in a non-adversarial manner.

* We are dedicated to partnering with businesses, local government and other non-profits to maximize resources results.

Education is the key to ensuring responsible decision-making by community leaders as well as regular citizens. The Alabama Coastal Foundation is committed to providing quality, science-based information to students of all ages. We have education programs for K-5th graders and work with middle and high school students on special projects throughout Mobile and Baldwin Counties. Because learning can happen at any age, we also educate the South Alabama community as a whole through special projects, workshops and trainings designed to bring awareness about human impacts on the coastal environment and to design and implement tangible solutions to environmental concerns in our area.

Want to learn more? Call the ACF office to arrange a presentation or discussion with your club, church, or business group at 251-990-6002.
