America’s national parks don’t just protect landscapes — they safeguard some of the most important waters in the country, from the Great Lakes and the Chesapeake Bay to the Colorado River, the Everglades, and even 10% of the nation’s coastline.
These places give millions of people a chance to fish, paddle, swim, and connect with nature, but they also need active protection.
Ed Stierli of the National Parks Conservation Association explains how education and public engagement are key to ensuring visitors not only enjoy park waters, but help defend them for the future.
