Local area watershed organizations

Founded in 1992, the Center for Watershed Protection is a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation that provides local governments, activists, and watershed organizations around the country with the technical tools for protecting some of the nation's most precious natural resources: our streams, lakes and rivers.

River Network's Mission is to help people understand, protect and restore rivers and their watersheds. We envision a nation whose rivers are cared for by those who use them and live in their watershed. Our constituency is comprised of grassroots river and watershed conservation organizations, public agencies, tribal governments and coalitions, and others working to save freshwater ecosystems.

The Salt Ponds Coalition was incorporated as a non-profit corporation in 1986 to act as a focal point for programs designed to preserve nine coastal salt ponds along Rhode Island Atlantic coastline. In 1993, the Salt Ponds Coalition merged with The Rhode Island Salt Pond Watchers to further their collective efforts to protect and preserve these ponds.
