Protecting Our Rivers and Waterways
- We should work towards the closure and removal of coal ash ponds located near our water sources.
- We should partner with other organizations such as, local river groups and Alabama Rivers Alliance to gain momentum.
- We need to increase access to our water sources and recreation to grow compassion and concern for preservation.
- We should implement more opportunities for water-testing training and locate funds to help with cost of chemicals.
- We should focus on environmental education with stream walks, macroinvertebrate ecology, stream health, and other types of aquatic ecology.
- We should work with fisherman and hunters to help protect waterways important to their sports.
- We need to increase validity and access to water quality reporting for the general public.
- We should educate and advocate for the protection of riparian barrier zones.
