Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation

Welcome to the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation, a dedicated guardian of Southwest Florida’s coastal ecosystems. Located at 3333 Sanibel Captiva Road, Sanibel, Florida, our park stands as a testament to over 50 years of unwavering commitment to environmental preservation and education.

Our mission is to protect and care for the region's unique coastal environments, ensuring the survival and thriving of local wildlife, including sea turtles, shorebirds, and aquatic species. We are actively engaged in habitat management, restoration, and native landscaping to restore and maintain the natural beauty and ecological balance of our area.

Our efforts extend to monitoring water quality, providing real-time data to track the health of our water systems. Through education and community involvement, we aim to instill a sense of environmental stewardship across generations, encouraging everyone to actively participate in safeguarding our precious ecosystems.

The Sanibel Sea School, a vital part of our foundation, offers immersive experiences that allow individuals to connect with the ocean and understand the important messages it conveys. Moreover, our Coastal Watch program collaborates with volunteers to restore habitats and promote sustainable interactions with our coastal environment.

In the wake of Hurricane Ian, our work has become even more crucial. The storm left significant damage to our buildings and properties, as well as the Sanibel-Captiva area. We are actively working to preserve and protect our region’s wildlife, land, and water, and we need your support. Unrestricted donations will be directed towards immediate recovery needs and advocating for science-based environmental policy to ensure coastal resilience.

Join us in our mission to safeguard the natural treasures of Southwest Florida. Your involvement and support are vital to our continued success in protecting and nurturing our coastal ecosystems for generations to come.
