Breakwater Preservation Conservancy is a non-profit organization located in Wakefield, Rhode Island. The organization is dedicated to the preservation and maintenance of the historic Point Judith Lighthouse and the surrounding area, including the breakwater and the natural habitat.

The Point Judith Lighthouse was built in 1810 and is one of the oldest lighthouses in the United States. The lighthouse is an iconic landmark in the area and attracts thousands of visitors each year.

The organization works to maintain the lighthouse and the breakwater, as well as the natural habitat around them. This includes removing invasive plant species, restoring native vegetation, and monitoring the wildlife in the area.

In addition to their preservation efforts, the Breakwater Preservation Conservancy also offers educational programs and tours of the lighthouse and the surrounding area. They work to promote awareness of the history and importance of the lighthouse and the breakwater, as well as the need to protect the natural habitat.
