The Pawtuxet River Authority Watershed Council is a volunteer organization dedicated to protecting and improving Rhode Island's Pawtuxet River and its surrounding watershed. Since its establishment in 1972, the council has successfully worked towards cleaning up the river, removing industrial discharges, and creating public fishing and canoeing accesses throughout the area.
With a mission to preserve the environment and enhance the quality of life in Rhode Island, the Pawtuxet River Authority is committed to restoring and improving the river for future generations. The Pawtuxet River, the largest river in the state, is a vital water source, providing drinking water to 65% of Rhode Island through the Scituate Reservoir. The council's efforts have resulted in the return of anadromous fish to the river and the establishment of record-breaking fish populations, making it a haven for anglers and nature enthusiasts alike.
