Community Involvement

A watershed is an area that drains to a common waterway, and in the case of Crab Meadow, a high quality estuary including salt marshes, beaches and eventually Long Island Sound. The actions of each individual living, using, and enjoying the Crab Meadow has an influence on it’s overall health. Human activities  and land use can directly and indirectly affect water quality and wildlife and plant habitats. Watershed Stewardship is successful through educating and engaging the community.

The Crab Meadow Watershed Advisory Committee (CMWAC) is made up of volunteers for the community untied under the goal of protecting and preserving the Crab Meadow watershed.

YOU can take steps to protect the Crab Meadow Watershed:

• Learn more about your environment through exploring the outdoors and becoming more familiar with your watershed.
• Help to protect the water quality in your community. Participate in activities that benefit your community and have  a say in environmental issues that are important to you.
