Nantucket Coastal Conservancy is a nonprofit organization founded in 2012 and composed of year-round islanders and seasonal residents, as well as visitors, whose common interest is to preserve and protect Nantucket’s natural beaches.
Our team — and our growing number of supporters — represent the broad island community: young and old, year-round and seasonal residents, environmental professionals, swimmers, surfers, fishermen, walkers, politicians, writers, photographers, concerned citizens. We are working together to ensure that our community has the knowledge and the ability to protect the beaches we love.
Our advocacy, educational efforts, and research activities are guided by an engaged and committed group of volunteers who comprise the NCC Coordinating Team. We are : Elin Anderwald, D. Anne Atherton: Director, Burton ‘Spruce’ Balkind: President, Joyce Berruet, Janie Hobson-Dupont, Susan Landmann, Susan McFarland: Director, Catherine Nickerson, Maureen Phillips: Director, Kate Shea, Mary Wawro: Director, and Karen Werner: Treasurer, Director.
