Our Work
Land and Wildlife Stewardship
Our mission at the Center for Coastal Conservation is to promote and restore the Island’s biodiversity and natural processes. From sea turtle conservation to prescribed fire management, we research and refine the best ecological practices on Little St. Simons before sharing them on a larger scale.

It takes a community to raise an island, and we’ve been fortunate enough to have the support of a network of researchers, graduate students, and coastal managers to collaborate on answering conservation’s most pressing questions.
Education & Outreach
At the Center for Coastal Conservation, we believe education is the foundation for a more sustainable future. From guiding our short-term guests to offering longer-term internships, every experience on Little St. Simons is an opportunity to learn from nature.
Regional Leadership
From smaller independent groups to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, we’re proud to lead and build partnerships with conservation-focused organizations towards a common goal: protecting and restoring the biodiversity of the Island and coastal regions beyond.
About Us
With a dedicated ecological manager and advisory council since 2007, the Island has served as an important reference to study and develop conservation management practices for the entire region. Thanks to our ecological advisory, we’ll continue to develop and implement ways to protect the Island’s plant communities and wildlife species for generations to come.
