Captains for Clean Water is a grassroots 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that fights to restore and protect our water resources We started as a couple fishing guides that had “had enough” of Florida’s poor water management practices devastating the estuaries we rely on. We were convinced that if everyone knew about the issues, they would’ve been fixed long ago. The solution is known, but has been delayed for decades due to lack of political will and public awareness. So, we set out to change that. We must fight to protect these valuable resources and our way of life for future generations.
