Our mission is to strengthen the ability of citizens to protect water quality in rivers, tributary watersheds, oceans, bays, wetlands, surface and groundwater in California.
River Watch protects local waterways through education, pollution prevention, enforcement, and preservation. River Watch prevents water pollution through cooperation with property owners, regulatory agencies and businesses by engaging all stakeholders in the process of negotiating a solution to stop and clean up the pollution of water. If cooperation and negotiations fail, River Watch brings suit to prevent any further harm to our precious water resources, freshwater species, public health and safety.
Through River Watch’s negotiations, a portion of proceeds goes to remediation projects and other environmental activities, such as reforestation projects.
