Mission: To protect and restore the black warrior river and its tributaries.

Programs: Our river patrol staff patrolled the black warrior river watershed to look for potential illegal dumping of waste and has performed regular water testing and pollution permit reviews to monitor for pollution violations.

our education staff has mailed newsletters, has maintained a website, and has held events to educate the public about improving water quality, the wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities, and public health. Our newsletter and website also provide information concerning lawsuits against groups and entities who are believed to have water pollution violations. Our staff also recruited 520 volunteers who generously donated 6,983 community service hours on a wide variety of projects to help the black warrior river watershed.

our legal team has filed lawsuits against entities believed to be polluting the black warrior river watershed. The legal team has also continually filed public comment letters with government agencies who are considering the renewal of various pollution permits throughout the watershed.
