Swimmable Fishable Drinkable Water
Since 1970, Assateague Coastal Trust is a passionate advocate for our diverse communities and ecosystems.
We believe that every community has both a right to clean water and a voice to protect that right.
The Assateague COASTKEEPER, is an on-the-water advocate who patrols and protects the Maryland, Southern Delaware, and Northern Virginia Eastern Shore coastal bays, standing up to polluters, and granting everyone's right to clean water.

We regularly monitor the quality of our local waters and publish the data in MyCoast App, SwimGuide, and WaterReporter.

Our Coast Kids program educates our youth and their families through hands on outdoor experiences in how to care for our coastal bays, creating the next generation of environmental stewards.


ACT engages the community about the environment through informative lectures, trash clean-ups, nature exploration and other hands-on opportunities.
