The Bald Head Island Conservancy champions the sustainability of barrier islands through environmental research programs and island wildlife stewardship.

Nestled between the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean, the Bald Head Island Conservancy sponsors and facilitates scientific research that benefits coastal communities and provides numerous recreational and educational activities to the public. In collaboration with various organizations, the Conservancy is uniquely poised to become a national leader in barrier island conservation.

The Bald Head Island Conservancy, our volunteers and scientists are dedicated to protecting Sea Turtles and their environment. We work with partners around the state, and world to protect habitats, conserve nesting beaches, engage the public in conservation efforts, educate children about the importance of marine life.

With your continued support the research and scientists at the Bald Head Island Conservancy are able to better understand how Sea Turtles are responding to environmental changes and we use this information to inform and support conservation efforts around the world.
