How We Work

If the Satilla River watershed has a vigilant, professional Riverkeeper organization with appropriate resources and expertise and we put them to use to monitor for problems, encourage better environmental projects, and speak up against environmental harm, then the Satilla River, its tributaries, and watershed will be protected for safe swimming, good habitat for fish and wildlife, productive coastal fisheries, aesthetics, and any other compatible uses now and in the future.
