The Cohansey Area Watershed Association (CAWA) is a 501(c)(3) organization focused on improving the quality of the Cohansey River Watershed in Salem and Cumberland Counties in southern New Jersey.
CAWA was founded in order to maintain the health and beauty of the Cohansey River and Watershed. We have three main purposes:
1) To protect and restore the natural, cultural, and recreational resources of the Cohansey area watershed;
2) To promote research and action to determine and secure a healthy watershed;
3) To expand public awareness and appreciation of the watershed’s many valuable and unique resources.
