What We Do

Waterkeeper Alliance strengthens and grows a global network of grassroots leaders protecting everyone’s right to clean water. Together, we are a global force for progress, demonstrating the strength of unified action in advocating for clean water and amplifying the voices and needs of communities worldwide through our three primary campaigns—Clean Water Defense, Climate and Safe Energy, and Pure Farms, Pure Waters. These initiatives address major threats to water quality and work to protect vulnerable communities from environmental harm.

Priority Projects

The Unseen Crisis

Waterkeeper Alliance and local Waterkeeper groups are conducting testing of waterways. The project addresses the public health and environmental threats posed by toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), especially in communities facing disproportionate impacts.

Offshore Dangers

The Sauver la Mer et la Pêche/Save Our Coast and Fisheries campaign is jointly led by Waterkeeper Alliance, Hann Baykeeper, and Bargny Coast Waterkeeper. It addresses the socio-economic and environmental threats posed by offshore oil and gas drilling in Senegal.
