Welcome to SWaMP

Saugahatchee Watershed Management Plan (SWaMP) was created by stakeholders, and involves the cooperative efforts of local government, business and community groups to clean up Saugahatchee Creek and educate others of its value. The goal of the SWaMP stakeholder group is much broader, and pertains to how ecological integrity, water resources management and quality of life can be best sustained with inevitable population growth and accompanying economic development.

The AWW program is one of a group of Related Watershed Projects devoted to promote Community-Based Watershed Stewardship (CBWS) within the Auburn University Department of Fisheries and Allied Aquacultures.
