Advocacy

Advocating for Clean Rivers

Arundel Rivers Federation advocates for the health of our lands and our rivers so they may be enjoyed by all. Our Riverkeeper engages in regulatory and legislative efforts in Annapolis and across the Chesapeake Bay watershed focused on the protection and restoration of our sensitive ecosystems, weighing in on topics such as, resiliency, natural resource protections, development, wastewater and trash, nutrient and sediment pollution, and stormwater runoff.

Each year, the Riverkeeper tracks several environmental legislative bills at the city, county, state, and federal level and testifies for or against various bills. Follow our social media accounts to learn more about ways that you can advocate for stronger environmental laws.

Arundel Rivers often advocates for strong environmental policy at the local and state level by supporting legislation that will better protect our waterways, preserve natural resources, and mitigate climate change impacts. We strive to engage the public in these efforts by educating our communities about these important issues and by providing opportunities for you to get involved by submitting comments or assisting our calls to action.
