The Keeper concept dates back to a 19th century English tradition in which “river keepers” were overseers of streams who ensured that the water was healthy, plentiful and free from poachers.

In 1983, fisherman John Cronin founded Hudson RiverKeeper to find out what was destroying fish populations and stop it. Thanks in large part to the efforts of the Hudson River Conservator, the Hudson River became the first American waterway to be considered restored to its natural state.

Today, there are more than 300 Kiper programs around the world. Each Keeper is a non-profit corporation with its own Board of Directors. Programs, projects and agendas are determined solely by the Custodian and the Board.

Orange County Coastkeeper’s mission is to protect the region’s water resources so that they are suitable for swimming, drinking and fishing for present and future generations. They are a non-profit clean water organization that acts as active stewards of our freshwater and saltwater ecosystems.
