Tracking River Health

We monitor the health of our three rivers at 50 stations to target our restoration efforts; putting 80% of our resources into our most polluted creeks.

Community Services

We provide a free and convenient sewage pumpout boat for local boaters, preventing thousands of gallons of raw sewage from potentially being pumped overboard. We test bacteria levels at community water recreational areas, so residents know when it is safe to swim. We provide volunteer opportunities for children and adults to help plant trees, clean up streams, and restore our oyster population.
