Here for Carolyn!
Shoreline Defender
Carolyn is being sued by Brian Littrell and his wife Leighanne Littrell for doing something countless families have done for generations — sitting in the wet sand near the water’s edge. Let’s be clear: this case is not really about one woman on one stretch of shoreline. It’s about whether everyday citizens can continue to rely on the Public Trust Doctrine, the long-standing legal principle that preserves the wet sand and navigable waters for public use.
Carolyn is facing plaintiffs with significant financial resources. Litigation at this level is expensive, strategic, and designed to intimidate. But community rights are not determined by who can spend the most on attorneys — they are determined by law and by the willingness of citizens to stand up for it.
If the public loses ground here, it sets a precedent that affects everyone who walks, fishes, sits, or lets their kids play at the waterline. This is about access. It’s about fairness. And it’s about protecting rights that belong to all of us, not just to those who can afford to fight for them.
If you believe in protecting the public’s right to use the beach where the Public Trust Doctrine applies, now is the time to show up. Send us a message if you’d like to get involved and support Carolyn. This isn’t just about her — it’s about everyone who believes the shoreline should remain accessible to the public.

This case affects more than one person. It impacts every family, every visitor, and every local who believes the shoreline should remain accessible to the public.
