Swim Drink Fish Initiatives

Swim Drink Fish initiatives help people protect their local waters. We support community scientists, beach managers, marina operators, and nonprofits.

Our initiatives focus on beaches, parks, marinas and other public access points because those are the places most people develop a connection to water and nature. By helping people protect the places they love, we help to develop the leadership and passion that will protect communities for years to come.

Blue Flag is a certification program for environmentally-friendly beaches, boats, and marinas.
