At the inaugural CLEAN WATER CLASSIC, we will gather at 8am (required safety briefing will be held at 8:30 a.m.) and launch in stages from FRANCIS ST BEACH (next to SEA Nantucket Kayak)on NANTUCKET HARBOR, returning to our same launch point afterward.
Registrants can participate competitively or recreationally. Participants can sign up as individuals or members of a FUNDRAISING & PADDLING team to collect support for the cause.
Racing and fundraising PRIZES will be distributed, and REFRESHMENTS will be served!
This event will raise funds and awareness for the NANTUCKET LAND & WATER COUNCIL’S (NLWC’s ) WATER FUND a donor-restricted fund that supports MARINE and FRESHWATER projects on Nantucket.
PROJECTS supported by the NLWC WATER FUND include: PFAS research and education • EELGRASS monitoring and restoration • POND WATER monitoring & research • STORMWATER monitoring • ongoing ADVOCACY to PREVENT ADVERSE IMPACTS to our WATERS • EDUCATIONAL EVENTS with renowned scientists and policy-makers, and MORE!
The HEALTH and PROSPERITY of Nantucket and all who live here DEPEND on CLEAN WATER. As the island's trusted ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCATE, the NLWC has been paying attention, raising awareness, and TAKING ACTION to protect that precious resource for more than 50 years.
We hope you will JOIN US ON THE WATER in support of the NLWC's ongoing efforts to protect our water quality and help ensure we have DRINKABLE, FISHABLE, SWIMMABLE water on Nantucket in perpetuity!
