Emma Wattie is the director of Atlantic Water Network, and has been working with Community-Based
Monitoring Organizations for the last four years. As a proud Maritimer, she’s thrilled for the opportunity
to work in Atlantic Canada and empower local community-based monitoring programs. Her role is to
connect with watershed organizations, hear what resources are needed to build their own programs and
connect these groups with other likeminded organizations in the region.

Emma holds a Masters of Science in Integrated Water Resource Management from McGill University
and a Bachelors of Science degree in Biology from Saint Francis Xavier University. In addition to
supporting community environmental programs, she loves to travel, explore the local food scene and
will find any excuse to get outside.
