Pontchartrain Conservancy is a non-profit, membership-based organization, was established in 1989 in response to public outcry for the preservation and restoration of the Pontchartrain Basin's ecosystem.As the public's independent voice, the Pontchartrain Conservancy is dedicated to restoring and preserving the water quality, coast, and habitats of the entire Pontchartrain Basin. Through coordination of restoration activities, education, advocacy, monitoring of the regulatory process, and citizen action, we work in partnership with all segments of the community to reclaim the Basin for this and future generations.The Pontchartrain Conservancy is a non-profit organization consisting of a board of directors representing Basin parishes and regulatory agencies.The Pontchartrain Basin is a 10,000 square mile watershed encompassing 16 Louisiana parishes. The land use of the region is both rural and urban and is the most densely populated region in Louisiana, including metro New Orleans and the state capital, Baton Rouge. It is one of the largest estuarine systems in the Gulf of Mexico containing over 22 essential habitats. The Basin's topography ranges from rolling woodlands in the north to coastal marshes in the south, with the 630 square mile Lake Pontchartrain as its centerpiece.
