## Resource

Tiny but mighty: the Alabama beach mouse, a nocturnal dune guardian vital to coastal stability, now has a new protector. After 15 years with the Alabama Coastal Heritage Trust, stewardship passes to the South Alabama Land Trust — a nonprofit dedicated to preserving natural spaces. Developers must either preserve habitat or pay fees, with proceeds funding conservation. These mice, far from ordinary house mice, help stabilize dunes by nurturing sea oats and preventing erosion. The land trust sees this as a natural extension of their mission, building on a program born during the Caribe resort’s development. Despite past political hurdles, developers have largely cooperated, proving that smart, balanced management can protect both nature and progress.
