What is a Watershed?

Do you live in a watershed? Trick question: everyone lives in a watershed!

Join the SLA’s LRCC member Dani to learn more about watersheds and why they're important. Besides providing key habitat for wildlife and recreation opportunities for people, watersheds are extremely important for water quality. It’s important to protect them!

Each watershed is connected to another in some way, as each one funnels water to the next until they ultimately reach the ocean. Watersheds aren’t just important for the river or lake they feed in to: they can also impact the health of the ocean!

Are you interested in learning more about the marine side of things? Ocean Exploration Trust’s Education Resources offers free access to a series of STEM Learning Modules about marine science. You can go here to register, (it’s free!): https://www.oceanexplorationtrust.org/education-resources
