The South Shore Watershed Association (SSWA) is a registered charitable organization established in 2011 to protect and maintain five adjacent watersheds in the the south-central area of Prince Edward Island, Canada.

SSWA serves the following watersheds: DeSable River, Westmoreland River, Tryon River, Augustine Cove and Cape Traverse Rivers, and Seven Mile Bay River.

The South Shore Watershed Association is made up of board members, community members, students & staff. We work year long to help fund and support conservational projects along the South Shore.

We connect landowners, agricultural producers, and other industries to funding for conservation projects.
