For nearly two decades, people have worked to protect Captain Sams Spit.
Now, permanent protection is within reach.
Conservancy of the Sea Islands has launched Forever Starts Now, a $1.3 million campaign to help protect this extraordinary undeveloped coastal landscape forever.
YOU can help make it happen.
SEE WHAT'S AT STAKE
Captain Sams Spit provides vital habitat for endangered piping plovers, loggerhead sea turtles, diamondback terrapins, bobcats, and other wildlife. Dolphins strand feed along its shoreline, and shorebirds depend on its beaches and tidal areas to rest and forage.
Places like this are increasingly rare.
WE ARE CLOSER THAN EVER
With state funding approved and the 2026 settlement agreement moving toward completion, Captain Sams Spit can be permanently protected through a conservation easement held by Conservancy of the Sea Islands.
But the work is not finished.
We must raise $1.3 million to fulfill our commitment and help secure this landscape for generations to come.
Your gift can help close the gap.
FOREVER STARTS NOW — WITH YOU
Years from now, people may walk these beaches, watch dolphins along the shoreline and see shorebirds gathering at the water’s edge.
They may never know your name.
But you will know you helped protect it.
Make your gift to Conservancy of the Sea Islands today and help secure the permanent protection of Captain Sams Spit and the long-term stewardship of conserved land.
Every gift brings permanent protection closer.
Whether you give $25, $100, $1,000 or more, you are helping protect critical wildlife habitat and preserve an irreplaceable part of the Lowcountry coast.
This is your opportunity to be part of the generation that helped make protection of Captain Sams Spit permanent.
