Keeping watch over our waters since 2010. Our organization works to answer the simple questions like “is it safe to swim?”, “are the fish safe to eat?”, and “what can I do to make the Coosa healthier for my community?” to ensure the public is aware of issues that impact the river, recreation, public health, and property value. To fulfill our mission of protecting, promoting, and restoring the Coosa River, our organization has developed four core programs. These programs engage the many people who live, work, visit, and recreate on the Coosa River, its tributaries, and lakes. Through our Fish Guide, Swim Guide, and Riverkeeper Patrol programs, Coosa Riverkeeper encourages everyone to enjoy the river, lakes, and "skinny water" or creeks, while providing information about water quality conditions and fish consumption advisories for both sport and leisure.
