Water Quality Call to Action

Our rivers are in trouble, and they need your help. In colonial times, the waters from our rivers were so pure they were prized for long sea voyages. Now, our water quality is being degraded by rising water temperatures, stronger storm events, increased runoff, and more frequent flooding. The algal blooms we are seeing here in the warmer months are sure signs of a sick river. These algal blooms are a threat to fisheries, recreation, property values, human health, and our regional economy.
