Did you know that our river basin is home to endangered fish? The Etowah darter pictured here is a good example of a species that has been threatened by human development. CRBI has been working for years now with the Nature Conservancy to remove culverts that prevent endangered fish species from reaching their spawning grounds. These projects give us hope for the future! 🙌 Support our work by becoming a member today at coosa.org/join.

Just another Monday by the river! ☀️
When we think about protecting, preserving, and restoring the upper Coosa River basin we think about all the communities that are impacted by clean water, the millions of people who rely on clean water for survival and the millions of critters who depend on it, too! Thank you for helping us succeed in our mission to have fish able, drinkable, swimmable water in the upper Coosa for generations to come! 🙌

It may not look like much, but before this bank stabilization and riparian buffer planting on Holly Creek tons of sediment was washing into the creek every time it rained, endangering species downstream and washing away acres of farm land during flooding events! This project is just one example of the many restoration projects CRBI has been busy organizing across the river basin. 🙌. We couldn't do this important work without the support of our community, thank you! If you're not a member already, join today at coosa.org/join 💧

Did you know that over the last several years CRBI has helped to allocate almost $1M to restoration projects across the upper Coosa River basin?! 🤯 From everything to endangered mussels to riparian buffers and bank stabilizations we've been working hard with our friends at US Fish and Wildlife, the Nature Conservancy, and Georgia Department of Natural Resources to restore the wild places that make our region such a wonderful place to explore.

Amazing news for our watershed! 🙌 From our exec

Amazing news for our watershed! 🙌 From our executive director, Jesse Demonbreun-Chapman, “Over the past several years, we have monitored the PFAS problem in our watershed with increasing concern. Throughout this process, CRBI’s goal has always been to sit at the negotiating table and find a solution that would truly be protective of the Chattooga River and Weiss Lake. We are pleased to play an important role in hastening the end of forever chemicals in ongoing textile manufacturing at the Mount Vernon Mill, while working with industry to find innovative solutions to the challenges posed by these chemicals. Ending use of PFAS in textile production at this facility is an important step to finally dealing with ongoing contamination in our region and should serve as an example to others that there are alternatives to using these chemicals in manufacturing in the first place.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
