About this organization
Mission
To protect, preserve, and improve the water quality of the Ogeechee River basin
About
The 5,500 square mile Ogeechee River watershed makes southeast Georgia an ecological treasure for residents and visitors alike. Despite the impression of a largely rural landscape, this region of Georgia is experiencing increased development pressure from population growth, water withdrawals, and wastewater discharges, as well as from climactic changes leading to sea level rise. These pressures are causing dramatic changes in water quality and quantity and threaten serious ecological decline and shifting wildlife and fisheries populations. Ogeechee Riverkeeper was found to reverse these threats and improve the watershed’s condition. Since 2005, we have amplified the voices of concerned citizens and strengthened their efforts to protect their waterways and communities. By raising awareness and aggressively responding to critical threats, we advocate for the Ogeechee River watershed, its people, and their way of life.
