Restoration

CRBI has attracted over a million dollars to revitalize critical habitat for endangered species. We work with partners across the river basin to achieve our restoration efforts.

Advocacy

From local development plans to state water laws, CRBI is an advocate for fishable, swimmable, and drinkable water in the upper Coosa River basin and across Georgia and Alabama.

Water Monitoring

From seasonal bacteria testing at local recreation sites to investigating emerging contaminants like PFAS, CRBI works to protect water quality throughout the upper Coosa River basin because clean water is your right.

Education

Through educational programs like SSWIM, hands-on experiences like Georgia Adopt-A-Stream, and community events, CRBI connects communities with the wildlife, history, and environmental issues of the upper Coosa River basin.
