For the Coastal Expeditions Foundation, protecting loggerhead sea turtles in Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge has been a core commitment since day one. Each season, we fund the wildlife biologists and college interns who monitor, protect, and inventory the 2,000–3,000 nests laid across these wild barrier islands.

Growing Our Impact Responsibly
As support for the Coastal Expeditions Foundation has grown, we have expanded our investment in conservation, education, and community programs while maintaining a strong financial position. Revenue growth allows us to protect more wildlife, serve more students, and create more opportunities for future conservation leaders.
