Let Us Know if You'd Like to Share Our Print Resources

Connecting local businesses with water quality advocacy is a primary focus of the Bailey Water Institute. After the website launch, the Institute will distribute printed educational materials — including brochures, rack cards, and postcards — to local businesses to grow its network of advocates and connect the community with its resources. We encourage interested businesses to share their contact information.

Thanks to Our Funders & Their Inspiration

"SCCF is grateful for funding from the Orndorff Foundation for the Sam and Francis Bailey Center for Clean Water Education, which made the creation of the Bailey Water Institute possible. Joe and JoAnne Orndorff understand the vital connection between the Baileys and water quality, and we are proud to further that legacy.

As early pioneers, business leaders, and civic leaders, Sam and Francis Bailey had their finger on the pulse of community life on Sanibel, realizing early on that our tourism-based economy and the quality of life of island residents and business owners were inextricably linked to the quality of our coastal waters.”

— James Evans, SCCF CEO

Check Out Our Photo Bank & Support Clean Water

To encourage you to advocate for our waters, we have created this photo bank as an open-source gallery showcasing the beauty and biodiversity of our coastal ecosystems. Each photograph was taken locally, within the Caloosahatchee Estuary or the waters surrounding Sanibel and Captiva. You may download, share, use in presentations, or enjoy these photos however you like. Please use them to help others understand what makes our local waters so special and what the Bailey Water Institute is working to protect.
