Collectively we are reflecting on the impacts of the recent election results, including how those results affect the Ipswich River Watershed Association (IRWA) going forward. IRWA has been the voice of the River since 1977, through Democratic and Republican administrations, both at the state and national levels. Our commitment during the past 47 years to protect and restore the Ipswich River has not changed and will not change now. There is a lingering question for many of us about what role the federal government will play in environmental stewardship over the next few years. This makes the on-the-ground work that we do — stewarding and restoring our river, and having robust community conversations about how we are going to prepare for the impact of climate change — even more urgent and important. One of the benefits of being a community-based non-profit organization and not a government agency is that we get to continue to do our work in the ways that we think best protect our natural resources, regardless of the direction that the political winds are blowing. We choose to see challenges as opportunities. We will look to harness the energy of our entire community which is focused on a positive future for our river and our watershed community. Sincerely, Erin Bonney Casey Executive Director

With increasing development pressures and unclear regulations, riverfront delineation has become a hot topic. Careful review and scrutiny of projects near the river are essential to protect our rivers. Ipswich River Watershed Association has been involved in multiple disputes over this delineation. Read more about the methodology we use on our blog.

Many hands make light work! Thanks to everyone who helped clear the way for migrating fish who need to make their way through Alewife Brook to complete their life cycle!
Thanks to a host of sponsors, a coalition of organizations, and hard working volunteers we cleared the channel in Alewife Brook in advance of the fall outbound river herring migration. This was last done?in 2021 but plants had again impeded the channel. We scheduled four days of volunteers, but were able to complete the work in just two! Many thanks to all the terrific volunteers as well as our sponsors, Building Center, Carpenter & MacNeille Architects and Builders, Inc. and Jungle Stuff. Thanks also to our our partner organizations: Ipswich River Watershed Association, Chebacco Lake Watershed Association, Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries, Town of Essex DPW and Essex County Sheriffs Department! A?coalition of outstanding organizations focused on protecting and preserving the alewife run! #SeasideSustainability #Volunteer #Nonprofit #CommunityCleanup #EnvironmentalScience #AlewifeBrook

We love how this article highlights the power of hands-on learning. From understanding river health to designing eco-friendly solutions, students are not just learning science—they’re becoming stewards of their community. Thanks to WPS Institute and Salem Public Schools for helping us shape the future of education and conservation.
Excited to kick off the school year on the North Shore! Some of my favorite moments last year were spent collaborating with community partners to make learning relevant and meaningful for kids. I wrote a blog post about one of our partnerships last year with Salem Public Schools and Ipswich River Watershed Association - check it out! https://lnkd.in/dHA7BUzs

This initiative is a collaborative effort involving Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs' Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM), Massachusetts Department of Fish & Game's Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF), the Town of Ipswich, and the Town of Topsfield, working together to support the health and future of these essential migratory species. Read more about the comprehensive habitat assessment this grant will fund on our blog.

We are absolutely thrilled about receiving this grant!
Congratulations to the Ipswich River Watershed Association for receiving a $1.23 million award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for removal of the Ipswich Mills Dam, a DER Priority Project (and a priority for many other organizations and individuals, too). https://lnkd.in/g5BAYbJj
