Shored Up: A Coastal Experience

It’s like grown up show and tell with an end goal to raise awareness and inspire stewardship.

OUR MISSION

To connect people to waterways, growing a love and stewardship for each, through exciting and educational experiences and excursions.

About SHORED UP

Our Mission + Our Vision + You

It’s true what they say. When we foster a love for something, we tend to take care of it. Become a steward for it. Grow an affinity for it.

Claire Neubert and Linda Hamm, founders and owners of Shored Up, have a deep love for the water, the environment and the communities that make up the Chesapeake Bay watershed regions of Virginia.

Together, they want to spread that love and help foster greater stewardship for the unique elements that make up so much of the culture, heritage, economy and life of Virginia.

More specifically, Claire and Linda created a way to offer fun and unique eco-tour experiences to locals and visitors alike.

WE WILL...

...provide a connection to our shoreline and waterways that fosters stewardship and ensures resiliency for generations to come.
