 WE PUT PEOPLE
ON THE WATER
The Petaluma Small Craft Center
Coalition is a group of clubs and individuals promoting the use of
human-powered watercraft on the Petaluma River, California.
We advocate construction of a
waterfront boathouse to increase public access to the water; provide
a center for boating skills, water safety, and environmental
education; and support those who use the river for recreation,
nature appreciation, and fitness.
