The mission of Protect Conanicut Coastline (PCC), a Rhode Island non-profit corporation, is to protect and preserve the unique and spectacular coastline of Conanicut Island for current and future generations, in accordance with the Jamestown Comprehensive Community Plan. PCC will act as an advocate to ensure that ecological systems are safeguarded and that coastal waters are swimmable, fishable and accessible. We will engage and inform the community regarding this environmental treasure and will promote a safe and sustainable balance among all users of our island’s coastal resources.
Changing the world is possible. It starts right here at home.
We recognize threats to Dumplings Cove and other areas of Conanicut Island’s coastline are ongoing. Protect Conanicut Coastline will continue to be vigilant in monitoring and tackling irresponsible behavior and development that jeopardizes the environmental, recreational and scenic values of this spectacular corner of Narragansett Bay that we call home.

“Far and away, the greatest threat to the ocean, and thus to ourselves, is ignorance. But we can do something about that.”
