Conservation
Members of the Southport Chronic Cavers Grotto believe:
  • Caves have unique scientific, recreational, and scenic values
  • These values are endangered by both carelessness and intentional vandalism
  • These values, once gone, cannot be recovered
The responsibility for protecting caves must be formed by those who study and enjoy them. Most Southporters take this responsibility seriously. Read more about our philosophy in word and deed here.
