These waters are yours.
Become a Baykeeper this spring and be part of the Marsh Maddness.
This is your coast. Your way of life. Your water.
When you become a Baykeeper, you join a growing community of folks who care enough to stand up for the places that shaped them. You help protect the waters that fed you, raised you, and still bring you home.
Right now, our seagrasses are on the edge. Marsh Madness is our time to turn the tide on this Cinderella Story. The work to bring them back starts with people like you.
Join us this Spring.
Marsh Madness
What is at stake
Water quality tells the truth about our coast. When the Bay turns cloudy, when fish thin out, when shorelines crumble, we feel it in our bones.
Seagrasses are one of the clearest signs of whether our waters are healthy. Coastal Alabama has lost approximately 66 percent of its native seagrasses. That loss touches everything from the fish we catch to the places our children swim.
If we want a different future, this is where the work begins.
This is what Marsh Madness is all about. Restoring the roots of our coast so life can return.

We know recovery is possible
Places like Tampa Bay brought their seagrasses back because people committed to the long haul.
Their waters recovered. Their fish are thriving, and so is their way of life. Their shoreline came alive again.
Coastal Alabama can see that same comeback. We just need more folks like you in the fight.
Give Now
Your gift fuels the comeback our coast needs.
Your support helps Baykeeper protect and restore the core indicators of a healthy Bay.
Every Marsh Madness gift pushes the comeback farther.

Stronger oyster reefs
You help restore oysters that filter the water, guard our shorelines, and seed new reefs that bring back the life we have lost.

We cleanup
You help us monitor the places our families depend on, report threats in a swift manner, and hold polluters accountable so no one has to question the water.
