We promote natural, sustainable stormwater management practices and environmental justice in our most vulnerable communities throughout New York City to support the Clean Water Act’s goals of fishable and swimmable waters.
On behalf of our member organizations and the communities they represent, we submit comment letters and testimony, provide advocacy training for local waterbody groups, and engage with agencies to protect and improve clean water resources in NYC.
We create factsheets, maps, and other resources to support our member organizations and the general public. SWIM also hosts the Estuary Partnership Forum, promoting DEIJ support and safe spaces for practitioners in the New York Harbor region.
