Small actions. Big impact.

The Living Seawall at the Church by the Sea was born out of community concern—and it’s powered by people like you. Whether you live in Fort Lauderdale or across the country, there are meaningful ways to get involved and help move this mission forward.

How you can help

Spread the word

Share our story with your community, your congregation, or on social media. Awareness fuels impact.

Host a fundraiser

 From birthday donations to business partnerships, creative giving can help fund a foot—or a whole section—of the seawall.

Can’t give $1,500 on your own? Gather a few friends and sponsor a foot as a group. Every $62/month counts.

Volunteer locally

We’re exploring ways to engage volunteers in future planting days, educational events, and Discovery Deck tours.

For Researchers and Educators

We welcome partnerships with schools, universities, and environmental educators. The Living Seawall and FILTER Project offer opportunities for:

Water quality monitoring
Habitat performance tracking
Seagrass and oyster research
Student learning and internships
