What We Do

Our Mission

Members of the Alliance are comprised of five non-profit organizations including the Deer Creek Watershed Association Inc., Elk & North East Rivers Watershed Association Inc., the Havre de Grace Maritime Museum inc., the Legacy Land & Water Partners Inc., and the Octoraro Watershed Association Inc..

Our Alliance works to identify, prioritize, and address issues and problems in the head of the Chesapeake watersheds including water quality monitoring, conducting surveys of submerged aquatic vegetation in the critically important Susquehanna Flats, stormwater management, and importantly environmental education, which includes outreach to historically underserved communities. We work with government agencies and other regional non-profit environmental organizations and academic institutions.
