South Shore Watershed Association

The South Shore Watershed Association (SSWA) is an association of independently managed watershed groups of the south-central area of Prince Edward Island, Canada. It was founded and incorporated in 2011 and obtained federal charitable status in 2013 (#810189407RR0001).

SSWA encompasses the following watersheds: DeSable, Westmoreland/Victoria, and Tryon rivers, Augustine Cove-Cape Traverse, and Seven Mile Bay, and their respective watershed groups (some active, some in development).

SSWA is managed by a volunteer board of directors appointed by their respective watershed groups. The executive director of SSWA, Juliana Fernandes Granzoti, pursues funding for and coordinates the projects, hires summer students — and much, much more! The bulk of the watershed work is carried out by summer students, supplemented by volunteers who enjoy getting down and dirty whenever they can.
