Big Bend Coastal Conservancy

The Big Bend Coastal Conservancy (BBCC) is a conservation program spanning the coastal zones of Gulf, Franklin, Wakulla, Jefferson, Taylor and Dixie Counties in the panhandle of North Florida. We have been active since 2009, and formalized this non-profit conservation program on June 8, 2010 on World Ocean Day. Our region has unique natural and cultural resources vital to the local economy and our way of life. Conserving these unique coastal and marine areas is important because of the extreme diversity and because of the ecological importance. The Big Bend Coastal Conservancy recognizes the importance of promoting the region for sustainable enjoyment, improving the public’s education through recreational opportunities and sustaining the integrity of our fisheries and coastal habitats.
