Confluence Collective is all about ensuring space for every body on the water, and connecting with ourselves and each other through our relationships with nature. Fishing has been a cultural space defined primarily by and for the able-bodied white cishet male experience, and requires cultural disruption to ensure safe and welcoming experiences for all; Confluence Collective organizes community programming, diverse educational opportunities + resources, and grassroots conservation work through collaborations grounded in mutuality, sustainability, and intersectional inclusion.
