Since 1993, the non-profit Wyland Foundation has inspired millions of people around the world to become caring, informed stewards of our ocean and waterways.
The Alewife Cove Conservancy was founded by a concerned group of local community members committed to preserving the ecosystem at Alewife Cove in New London/Waterford.
It was inevitable that we would connect to help each other in our shared mission of saving our precious waterways.
Wyland has returned to New London to create a fabulous new mural! Check out our Wyland Page and see the dedication of the mural delivered by our founder and co-chairman, Edward Lamoureux, watch a time lapse video of the mural's creation, and learn more about the artist named Wyland!
Breaking News: Alewife Cove Conservancy Receives $399,865 grant from Long Island Sound Future Fund!
Our Mission:
To utilize ecosystem-based management to design solutions for the complex challenges that affect Alewife Cove and Long Island Sound;
To empower our youth and community to take action and protect our waters through volunteer participation in Citizen Science and volunteer efforts;
To create a community of stewards that value, protect and are inspired to preserve our vital natural resources.
Who We Are
Community members from the region have long been concerned with the health of Alewife Cove. In 2016 a group established the Alewife Cove Conservancy (ACC) as an official 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Our focus was on preserving the ecosystem, particularly in light of the need for dredging and removal of a dam that impedes the spawning of the alewife. In addition, the use of the Cove by residents of all ages, especially students, is a core aspect of our mission. We have a growing membership.
