Abstract
The Mystic Watershed Collaborative (MWC) is a long-term partnership between the Tufts University WaterSHED Center and the Mystic River Watershed Association (MRWA) to contribute to restoration of watershed ecosystems, improvement of water quality and flood management, provision of public access to the river, public awareness of watershed problems, and encouraging new forms of governance that will be more effective than the current fragmentation of responsibility among state agencies and local municipalities. Presented in this paper is a summary of the Mystic River watershed and the MWC.
