The work of the Coastal Alliance has always been rooted in collective responsibility, the belief that some things are too important to leave to chance or profit. We fight for this place because it belongs to all of us. Because the common good depends on common ground.
Your gift protects one of the last great wild river mouths on Lake Michigan, a place where forest, dune, and water meet; where rare wildlife thrives; and where the public can still walk the same paths their grandparents once did. It ensures that this landscape, sacred to the Potawatomi and beloved by generations, remains part of our shared story — not a gated community or private marina.
Every dollar you give helps defend critical habitats, uphold public trust, and carry forward the legacy of those who fought before us. It’s a promise that when it was our turn, we stood up for what was worth saving.
