The Healthy Harbors Fund is a collaborative effort established by Charleston Waterkeeper, South Carolina Coastal Conservation League, and Coastal Community Foundation to improve water quality in Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester counties. The fund’s objective is to support non-profit organizations working towards enhancing water quality in the Charleston Harbor area by focusing on pollution reduction, environmental changes, and fostering community resilience against climate impacts. Projects eligible for grants under this fund include those targeting plastics, bacteria, emerging contaminants, pesticides, herbicides, erosion, climate resilience, and coastal flooding. The fund emphasizes the necessity of research, data gathering, education, litigation, and narrative framing to address the environmental challenges faced by the Charleston community.
