The Waterfront Protection Association is made up of local residents or volunteers belonging to the Neighborhood Association / Neighborhood Associations, stores, schools, companies, NPOs, etc., so that they can comfortably interact with the waterside by maintaining good environments of rivers and waterside facilities.
