Its been eating at me for years. Who knows the waters better than open water swimmers,Triathletes and anyone who just like to be in them.
Recognize these special places and use donations to promote the sustainability of them and bring about positive change to water resources in general. If a community knows it has a body of water nationally recognized by such a special foundation it would be awsome.

I like the idea. There are a lot of organizations that focus on certain water resources. There is Surfrider of course. There are also many other "Riverkeeper"organizations (eg Columbia Riverkeeper, Willamette Riverkeeper, Lake Ontario Keeper, Lke Champlain Lakekeeper etc.) I don;t know if it will ever bring in much money, but that is not the point. It would bring attention to the importance of the resource and give free publicity to the nonprofit organizations that work year round.
