WHO WE ARE
SAVANNAH RIVERKEEPER |
Savannah Riverkeeper was founded with the mission to protect and restore the 400-mile Savannah River and its 10,577-square-mile watershed through advocacy, education, and collaboration. Founded in 2001, we are part of the global Waterkeeper Alliance, working to ensure swimmable, drinkable, fishable waterways.
With headquarters in Augusta, GA, and offices in SC and coastal GA, we tackle challenges like pollution, development, and water management to sustain a healthy river for communities and ecosystems across the basin. |

HEALTHY COMMUNITIES AUGUSTAIn May 2023, seven prominent organizations united to establish Healthy Communities Augusta, driven by a shared commitment to transform their community and reclaim their environment from industrial exploitation. The city had long been sold to industry as a chemical dumping ground, a harsh reality that galvanized these groups to come together and demand change. They set out with a bold purpose: to change the way the chamber sells the 30901 and 30906 areas.

POLLUTION SOLUTIONS IN SAVANNAHLitter is an ongoing issue in the Savannah River Watershed, particularly in the lower region around Savannah. With the goals of reducing litter and raising public awareness for alternative solutions, Savannah Riverkeeper has launched two programs to stop litter before and after it enters the environment and make data publicly available.
