Mission Statement
Catawba Riverkeeper preserves, protects, and restores the waters of the Catawba-Wateree River basin for all through education, advocacy, and engagement.
About This Cause
The Catawba Riverkeeper® Foundation (“Catawba Riverkeeper” or “CRF”) is a non-profit organization that educates and advocates to protect the 5,000 miles of lakes, rivers and streams in the Catawba-Wateree River basin for everyone who depends on and enjoys them. Because the Catawba-Wateree River basin is one of the fastest growing areas in the United States and because there are more power plants per mile of river than any other river, CRF is on the forefront of various national environmental issues including coal ash waste, water conservation, basin planning, inter-basin transfers and low-impact development. Catawba Riverkeeper, through its staff and volunteers, patrols the waterways by foot and boat, surveying the shoreline for threats to water quality. Catawba Riverkeeper monitors the rivers for pollutants, advocates to protect the River, educates the public about water issues and mobilizes individuals to engage in activities that connect them with the Catawba-Wateree River. Activities of the organization include cleanup events, Covekeeper meetings, volunteer training classes, environmental film festivals, conservation speakers, lobby days, eco-tours, youth kayaking program and volunteer water quality monitoring program. In addition, Catawba Riverkeeper utilizes litigation to enforce the environmental laws.
