Nova Scotia Water Caucus
What is the Water Caucus?
The water caucus is a group of individuals and representatives from organizations that have an interest in water-related issues, including those relating to water quality monitoring, river and watershed health, wetlands, environmental racism, citizen science, education, habitat restoration, aquatic invasive species and water governance at all scales.
Our goal as a caucus will be to provide a forum for discussion and seek opportunities for partnership and collaboration around these issues.
Our vision is that water in Nova Scotia is protected now and in the future.
Our purpose is to create a network of individuals and organizations that are interested in supporting water resource management within Nova Scotia through the sharing of expertise, experiences, knowledge, information, and resources. This network will also serve to facilitate the discussion of issues and the input of water-focused ENGOs in the development of water, watershed, and coastal management strategies and policy.
