Florida's coastline is worth fighting for. Help us do the science that makes restoration possible.
Florida has more than 8,400 miles of tidal shoreline — and thousands of those miles are in serious trouble. Nutrient pollution, oxygen-starved canals, and degraded habitats are quietly eroding the coastal ecosystems that define life here. The problem is well-documented. What's been missing is the scientific groundwork needed to actually fix it.
That's what C-HAWQ does.
We're a Naples-based nonprofit that partners with municipal leaders to turn stalled water quality problems into funded, science-backed restoration projects. We don't advocate for one solution or one interest group — we provide the objective research that clears the path for clean water.
Your donation keeps that work moving.
Why It Matters Now
Florida lists 2,201 impaired bodies of water. Most coastal communities know they have a problem — few have the scientific resources to prove what's causing it or what will fix it. C-HAWQ fills that gap. The sooner we can complete the research, the sooner restoration can begin.
Your gift is tax-deductible. C-HAWQ is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN: 39-3486166). No goods or services are provided in exchange for donations.
