Eastern Charlotte Waterways Inc (ECW inc.)

In 1991, faced with an urgent need to restore damaged coastal environments, Environment Canada initiated the Atlantic Coastal Action Program as a means of mobilizing local communities to address their own environmental and developmental challenges. Eastern Charlotte Waterways Inc. (ECW) was created, alongside 16 other community-based environmental organizations in Atlantic Canada. Today, ECW is a not-for-profit, environmental resource and research center which aims to collaborate with like-minded organizations to promote community well-being through sound environmental health. We work in the freshwater, coastal, and marine environments of Southwestern New Brunswick. This area is bordered by the Lepreau watershed in the east, and the Digdeguash in the west, encompassing the northern tributaries of the Magaguadavic to the Bay of Fundy. The scope of our activities encompass the following topics: Integrated watershed assessment Coastal zone management Sustainable development & community capacity building Climate change adaptation & mitigation planning GIS mapping & analysis A participatory approach towards environmental management issues Education &.
