JOIN THE FIGHT FOR FLORIDA’S WATERS
Captains Membership goes beyond an annual donation. It’s a way to support the future of Florida’s waters in whatever way fits your life. With membership, you’re joining a community working together to drive real change for the Everglades and beyond.
“What Captains For Clean Water has built is more than a movement, it’s a blueprint for conservation everywhere. They’ve shown how science, storytelling, and grassroots engagement can combine to take on even the most entrenched systems of power.”

More than a donation. A place in the fight.
If there’s one consistent thing we’ve learned through our decade of success, it’s that showing up is what matters most, however that takes shape for you. Whether you’re a longtime supporter ready to go deeper, or just discovering the threats facing your favorite place, there’s purpose for you here.
Captains Membership is built around the way you want to engage. From standing up in Tallahassee to wearing your Captains hat on the water, every action makes a difference. This fight shows up everywhere, and thanks to you, so do we.
