Swim Drink Fish strives to create swimmable, drinkable, fishable water. This vision is to connect people to water by giving communities access to information and empowering them to act. Our vision has come to fruition, and continues to grow, thanks to the power of community-based action.
Connection leads to protection. It reads simple, but if you go beneath the surface of that sentence, we find a solution to issues and problems we’ve known about for over a century. The simple act of connecting people to water is the greatest action we can take. It is the catalyst in empowering a community to protect its water.
Through a variety of programs and initiatives, our work starts at the community level, supporting people to monitor and advocate for their local waters. We blend science, technology, and education to engage communities and increase data sharing. We prioritize scientific integrity and transparency in all our work and innovate to ensure we are able to serve as many people and places as possible. Check out the initiatives tab to learn more about specific programs.
Swimmable
Swimmable water means more than just being able to enjoy day at the beach. It also means being able to enjoy the water safely, stewarding the waters, and advocating for others to do the same.
Drinkable
Every community is connected to a watershed for their drinking water. That water should be protected at all times. Healthy drinking water creates a healthy community.
Fishable
All life depends on healthy waters to thrive. Fishable water means water that can sustain healthy aquatic life. Caring for fishable waters means supporting Traditional ways, livelihoods, and recreation
Swim Drink Fish has three offices in Canada: Vancouver (BC), Toronto (ON), and Edmonton (AB).
