The Salt River Watershed Council (SRWC) is a community-based 501(c)(3) public benefit nonprofit corporation. The SRWC encourages long term cooperative watershed management practices to sustain, protect and improve water quality, drainage, aquatic and riparian habitat and other natural resources while contributing to long term economic, agricultural and community sustainability in the coastal Salt River Watershed.
Our mission is to:
- achieve a balance between agricultural use and environmental concerns

- educate the community on the importance of this watershed
- collaborate with local watershed groups and government agencies
- obtain funding to monitor and maintain this vital resource
