Stream Selfie

Clean Water

Stream Selfie

We all have a favorite creek or stream. Maybe it’s one you walk by every day, or one you discovered while on vacation. Every stream is an important source of water for wildlife, the environment, and our drinking water. Join our movement to build a national map of our favorite streams across the country by sharing a Stream Selfie!

Anyone can get involved. Simply snap a photo of a stream that’s important to you (with or without your face!) and share your picture at the Stream Selfie page. Help us collect important data by sharing information about the amount of trash at your stream, if your stream is monitored for water quality, and more! Your observations will help us tell the story of our country’s waterways.

SELFIE OF THE WEEK

This week's Stream Selfie comes from Anchorage, Alaska! "I love reading by this creek. It's one of my favorite isolated spots. Even though it's right near a road, there is a ton of greenery around and the rushing river noise masks the sound of any passing thing, even airplanes!"

Stream Selfie Maps

Since launching the Stream Selfie project in 2017, we've received photos all 50 states! This map shows just the Stream Selfies we've received in 2020. Click on a star to see the photo and story of someone's favorite stream!

Our Trash Map shows which streams are clogged with trash, based on data submitted by Stream Selfie contributors. Take a look and take action for a stream near you.

Our Stream Size Map shows which streams do or don't flow year-round, based on data submitted by Stream Selfie contributors. Learn more about why it matters.

Our complete map shows every selfie we've ever received. Explore streams and stories from all over America – and even around the world.

The Stream Selfie project is brought to you by the Izaak Walton League of America and SciStarter, an online community dedicated to sharing and improving citizen science around the world.
