What We Believe

Core values and mission

The Center works to achieve a sustainable coast by safeguarding the environment to secure the quality of life and prosperity for all Georgia citizens.

Its core belief is that a healthy environment is a fundamental right, requiring the full enforcement of laws and objective, science-based resource management, while rejecting politically-motivated actions that ignore environmental health.

Since economic prosperity depends on a diverse natural environment, all activities must be guided by valid environmental criteria and public accountability.

The Center pursues this mission through ongoing analysis, public education, policy advocacy, and selective legal actions.
