Salt washes into stormdrains and flows through pipes to local lakes, streams, and wetlands, where it becomes pollution. You can help protect clean water.

Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) are organisms that are not native to their environment. They can cause great harm to an aquatic ecosystem by spreading rapidly and outcompeting native species.

A natural shoreline is a habitat with a diverse mix of plants near and within the water. Native plants maximize benefits such as capturing runoff, filtering pollution, and providing habitat for wildlife.

Residential stormwater BMPs are “best management practices” used to minimize stormwater runoff.
