what we do

We empower the rowing community to be active stewards of water resources by fostering sustainable practices, building connections, and driving nature-positive action. Together, we ensure the waters we row on today will remain vibrant and accessible for generations to come.

We’re on a mission to unite rowers to protect our sport’s most precious resource - water. We are increasing awareness of local watershed issues, and are the dot-connector for rowing clubs, regatta organizers, and local water stewardship organizations to promote healthy watershed efforts where we train and compete.

HOW WE DO IT

By collaborating with rowing clubs, local organizing committees, regatta organizers, and individuals with a passion for watershed protection, we bring stewardship and sustainability projects of any size to life. We are protecting our watersheds, and preserving the sport of rowing for future generations.

  • To unite rowers who take action to promote the sport of rowing through sustainability and water stewardship

  • We connect with athletes committed to water stewardship and sustainability to tell the story behind our favorite rowing venues. Our athletes celebrate rowing clubs and regattas with strong stewardship practices, and demonstrate the need for more action to protect our watersheds.

    Become a Healthy Watershed Ambassador.

  • We give rowing clubs and local organizing committees the tools to take small steps to support stewardship and sustainability on their body of water. These resources allow rowers of all ages to protect and restore their local watershed.

    Take Action.

  • We’re rowers and we’re water sustainability professionals. We bring momentum to the stewardship practices instilled within your club. We have a dedicated team to think through your stewardship projects at scale. We pull together, on and off the water, to bring your large-scale stewardship project to life.
