About

Waterkeeper alliance, INC. Is a global environmental organization uniting more than 300 waterkeeper organizations around the world and focusing citizen advocacy on the issues that affect our waterways, from pollution to climate change. Waterkeepers patrol more than 6m square miles of watersheds in the americas, europe, australia, ASIA and africa. Part scientist, teacher, and legal advocate, waterkeepers combine firsthand knowledge of their waterways with an unwavering commitment to the rights of their communities and to the rule of law. Whether on the water, in a classroom, or in a courtroom, waterkeepers speak for the waters they defend - with the backing of their local community and the collective strength of waterkeeper alliance. Waterkeeper alliance ensures that the world's waterkeepers are as connected to each other as they are to their local waters, organizing the fight for clean water into a coordinated global movement and providing a way for communities to stand up for their right to clean water and for the WISE and equitable use of water resources, both locally and globally. The vision of the waterkeeper movement is that we are a global movement united for clean, healthy, and abundant water for ALL people and the planet. Our mission is that we protect our right to clean water in communities around the world. And we believe: water is life; healthy watersheds connect and sustain us ALL; clean water is a basic right for ALL living beings; waterkeepers are guardians of this right, fiercely defending, enforcing, and promoting just and equitable clean water LAWS; each waterkeeper has a unique voice, reflecting our diverse communities and watersheds; as a movement, we are strong together when we LIFT up each others' voices and the voices of the communities we serve.
