About this organization
Mission
Mission Statement: Georgia River Network is working to ensure a clean water legacy by engaging and empowering Georgians to protect, restore, and enjoy our rivers from the mountains to the coast.The Need: Many of Georgia’s 70,150 miles of rivers and streams are treasures, needing care and protection. Others need help to restore them back to their original grandeur. Georgia’s rivers provide habitat for many endangered and threatened plant and animals, and Georgia ranks third in the nation (behind Tennessee and Alabama) for different types of native wildlife in and around our rivers and streams, with at least 269 different kinds of freshwater fish native to the state. Our rivers and streams provide recreational opportunities for families, whitewater enthusiasts, anglers, swimmers, and boaters. They beautify our communities and countryside. They nourish coastal marshlands, estuaries and fisheries. They provide water for industry and drinking water for millions of people. Today, many forces threaten or negatively impact Georgia’s rivers. The most urgent and critical issues include increased demand for water supply which may eventually lead to water shortages and lack of water pollution control. Currently, about 60% of Georgia’s monitored streams and rivers are not clean enough to meet their designated uses. Georgia River Network works to address these needs by engaging Georgia’s citizens in the protection and restoration of Georgia’s rivers; offering direct assistance, training and workshops to empower citizens to restore adn protect their rivers.
