Mission
The Mystic River Watershed is a living system full of fish and wildlife—including one of the largest river herring migration in the Commonwealth. The watershed includes thousands of acres of open space and parks along the river that offer countless recreational opportunities. The Mystic River Watershed Association uses science, advocacy and education to ensure a vibrant, healthy and resilient environment.
About
