Kristine Stratton

As Executive Director, Kristine partners with Waterkeeper organizations, the governing boards and Alliance staff to strengthen the coalition of grassroots Waterkeeper organizations worldwide, build the capacity of Waterkeeper Alliance to fulfill its mission, and work to ensure that the world’s waterways are clean, safe and healthy for the communities and wildlife that depend on them. She measures the organization’s success, and her own, by the presence of strong Waterkeeper organizations around the world and the direct improvements achieved through Waterkeeper Alliance and Waterkeeper organization joint campaigns.

Her prior experience includes overseeing operations at the New England environmental advocacy organization Conservation Law Foundation, which houses the Lake Champlain Lakekeeper; over ten years of planning and management at the flagship public broadcasting station WGBH; and projects for the Appalachian Trail Conference, Cape Cod Commission, and Museum of Fine Arts, among others. Kristine has a B.S. in Business Administration from Boston University and M.A. in Environmental Policy and Planning from Tufts University.
