The Westport River Watershed Alliance (WRWA) is a nonprofit, environmental education and advocacy group formed in 1976 to protect and conserve the natural resources of the Westport River and its 100-square mile watershed located in Southeastern Massachusetts at the entrance to Buzzards Bay. The Westport River watershed encompasses the Massachusetts communities of Westport, Dartmouth, Fall River, and Freetown as well as Tiverton and Little Compton in Rhode Island.
The goals of WRWA are to:
-
promote the environmental integrity of the watershed and its coastal environs.
-
to advocate the wise use and preservation of natural resources in the watershed for the aesthetic, recreational, and economic benefit of the citizens of the area.
-
to educate the general public about the interrelationship of our waters, soils, plants, animals, and people.
