Waterkeeper Alliance
Waterkeeper Alliance
is an environmental organization founded in 1999, responding to a growing
movement of organizations with the name Riverkeeper,
Baykeeper, Soundkeeper, and other related "keeper" names, of which
there are over 200 around the world.[1] The original Riverkeeper, organized in
1983, started on the Hudson River in New York state, USA, in response to the
destructive industrial pollution that was destroying the river.[2][3] It was
soon followed by Long Island Soundkeeper (which is still led by Terry Backer),
Delaware Riverkeeper, San Francisco Baykeeper, New York/New Jersey Baykeeper,
and others. Hudson Riverkeeper is now headed by Paul Gallay, the chief
executive since July, 2010.[4][5]
Today, Waterkeeper Alliance, which
is based out of New York, New York, unites all Waterkeeper
organizations, coordinating and covering issues affecting Waterkeepers that
work to protect rivers, lakes, bays, sounds, and other water bodies around the
world. It's the fastest growing grassroots environmental movement in the world,
spanning six continents. Each Waterkeeper organization is devoted to the
preservation of specific watersheds.
