Natural Floodplain Functions Alliance
The Natural Floodplain Functions Alliance (NFFA) is an affiliation of nonprofit and private organizations, government agencies, and individuals dedicated to the protection and preservation of the natural functions of floodplains, including coastal areas.
As a founding member of the NFFA, American Rivers is pleased to provide a place on its website, but American Rivers is one of many NFFA members and these webpages represent the collective work and contributions of NFFA member organizations. These web pages provide information about NFFA, its activities, and publications and reports useful to those interested in learning more about the importance of natural floodplains. NFFA was established to “promote, protect, and enhance the protection, restoration, and management of natural floodplain resources.” Members share information and may elect to coordinate actions on issues of interest, but the Natural Floodplain Function Alliance does not take formal positions on matters of national policy, guidance, or legislation.
