Science
Volunteer crews sample water clarity, salinity, and seagrass coverage across our home estuary — turning weekend fieldwork into data that decision makers can't ignore.
Ground Fish Foundation is on a mission to restore the grass flats, shallows, and bottom habitat that every fishery depends on.
We started as one kid, one skiff, and a stretch of water that didn't look the way it used to. Today we're a volunteer nonprofit combining science, education, and outreach to protect the least glamorous — and most important — part of the ecosystem.
What we do
Our programs
Education
On-the-water field trips take students out to the flats to see habitat loss firsthand, because nobody fights for a place they've never stood in.
Outreach
Shoreline cleanups, town-hall testimony, and school programs that turn quiet concern into an organized, loud, and persistent community voice.

The water doesn't have a lobbyist. It has us.
Every dollar and every volunteer hour goes straight back into the flats.
