Join fellow advocates for improved water quality to the Mystic River Watershed!
The Mystic River Clean Water Campaignlaunched in Nov. 2012 and currently meets monthly at Tufts University. Please join us for the next Committee Meeting, generally held the 1st Tues. of the month. See the Mystic River Watershed Association's event calendar for details: http://mysticriver.org/myrwa-calendar-of-events/
Volunteers are needed to develop and implement the campaign! Concerted and coordinated action from residents, municipalities, regulators and legislators is required. It is important to engage all key stakeholders to develop appropriate clean-up and restoration plans and to secure funding to implement these efforts. To support this initiative, the Mystic River Watershed Association will continue to enhance its communication programs to increase awareness of water quality challenges and opportunities in the Mystic.
