Riverkeeper is a non-profit environmental organization dedicated to the protection of the Hudson River and its tributaries, as well as the watersheds that provide New York City with its drinking water. It started out as the Hudson River Fisherman's Association (HRFA) in 1966. In 1986, the group merged with the Hudson Riverkeeper Fund it established in 1983 and took on the name Riverkeeper.[2][3] In 1999, the Waterkeeper Alliance was created as an umbrella organization to unite and support "keeper" organizations.
The organization has lobbied against nuclear power and hydropower.[4][5]
