2017 Spring Fling ~ ~ Celebrating 35 Years!

Our 2017 Spring Fling Auction is an easy way to support our organization's mission to foster responsible interaction with our natural surroundings and to generate knowledge of the unique marine and coastal ecosystems of Kachemak Bay.

The Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies is situated on the shores of Kachemak Bay, a coastal estuary teeming with wildlife. With more than 320 miles of shoreline, this coastal inlet contains every marine ecosystem found in the Gulf of Alaska.

The diversity of intact ecosystems in a relatively small area make this inlet an ideal hub for coastal education and research.

Since 1982, the Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies has been delivering hands-on environmental education programs designed to encourage participants to explore, connect with, and protect their natural environments. We see firsthand the impact these programs have on our participants’ educations and futures. Because we are an independent, 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization, we are completely dependent on philanthropic gifts from alumni, parents, staff, friends, foundations, and corporations to supplement enrollment revenues and make exploring with us a possibility for a broader range of students. Your gift today could change a student's life.
