United States -- South Atlantic
The U.S South Atlantic region includes
Waterkeepers whose waterways drain to the
Atlantic Ocean from North Carolina to
Florida.
Major Victories:
- Organized Get the Dirt Out and Muddy Water Watch campaigns to train and engage citizens to combat construction runoff
- The Dirty Lie Campaign to debunk the myths about “Clean Coal” and tell the truth that Clean Coal is a Dirty Lie
- Our Pure Farms Pure Waters Campaign is
promoting more sustainable farming practices
and addressing pollution from Concentrated
Animal Feeding Operations
(CAFOs).
