A group of citizens joined joined together in 2001 to address these concerns and formed Savannah Riverkeeper. We are part of the Waterkeeper Alliance, a movement of more than 290 organizations worldwide who fight for swimmable, drinkable, fishable waterways. Our unique brand of grassroots citizen advocacy allows us to advocate for the health and viability of the entire watershed.
Savannah Riverkeeper fulfills our objectives through three main goals. All of our work falls into these categories:
- Restore water quality in the Savannah River and its lakes and tributaries to fully support the uses of swimming, drinking, fishing, recreation, wildlife habitats, and sustainable economic activity.
- Protect our waterways from pollution and degradation, and prevent negative impacts to public health through enforcement of the Clean Water Act, sound development decisions, and best management practices for infrastructure and activities.
- Educate the public, businesspeople and lawmakers of the Savannah watershed to create a culture of conservation, inspire pride in our natural heritage and water resources, and develop ways to protect those resources.
