Major Activities

Activity 2

See schedule oflying for freshwater: flights help people see the connections between river systems and watersheds and how the health of their watershed affects them personally, which is critical since people have divergent opinions about how to balance resource use and resource conservation. Flight is one of the few tools that allows people to truly understand a river system from headwaters to delta and provides access to areas that cannot be reached on the ground because of size, topography or property ownership. Lighthawk's work for freshwater protection was honored with the award of an rbc blue water project leadership grant in 2011.

Activity 3

See schedule oflying for oceans: oceans, coastlines and marine species are threatened in ever-increasing ways. Lighthawk flights reveal these threats in powerful ways including documenting the impacts of coastal development and mangrove clearing, identifying sources of pollution, surveying fishing activity in protected areas and revealing the impacts of oil infrastructure, tanker traffic and oil spills. Lighthawk flights investigate damage from severe weather events and enable scientists to track the impacts of climate change. Lighthawk identifies, documents and monitors the threats to our oceans and coastlines and we work with partners to implement creative solutions for protection and restoration. Lighthawk flies the pacific coast from alaska to mexico; the atlantic coast from maine to florida; the gulf coast; and the caribbean, with special emphasis on protecting the mesoamerican barrier reef.
