Riverkeeper is an independent, member-supported environmental organization founded on the premise that citizens themselves must roll up their sleeves to defend our waterways.

To become a member of Riverkeeper, please go to Support Us.

Our mission is to safeguard the ecological integrity of the Hudson River, its tributaries and the watershed of New York City (protecting the city's drinking water supply) by tracking down and stopping polluters. Since 1983, Riverkeeper has investigated and brought to justice more than 300 environmental lawbreakers. Riverkeeper believes in the rights of every citizen to enjoy and defend our nation's water resources.

	Our History Since 1966, Riverkeeper and its predecessor organization have been watchdogs for the health and protection of the Hudson River.

	What We Do Riverkeeper is an advocacy group that monitors the Hudson River ecosystem and challenges polluters, using both legal and grass roots campaigns.
