Our folks over at the Ogeechee Riverkeeper are taking a momentous stand to protect the Floridan Aquifer, prioritizing its use for the human, agricultural, and ecological needs of Ogeechee River communities. This effort challenges the exploitation of this vital water resource

This precaution is crucial to reduce the risk of exposure to contaminants and waterborne pathogens resulting from the recent water runoff.

With recent rainfall, this has resulted in the contamination of local waterways. The Savannah Riverkeeper is advising all individuals to thoroughly wash their hands and any exposed skin after coming into contact with the affected waterways.

Thanks to the vigilance of a concerned citizen, we have been made aware of one of the ongoing consequences of Hurricane Helene. The storm caused significant damage to thousands of sewer lines, leading to sewage spills throughout the Savannah River basin.

Ahoy, matey and shiver me timbers! We had a splendid time sharing our bounty and passing out rare golden doubloons at Halloween with a Heart this morning! Thank ye to @WJBF News Channel 6 for letting us drop anchor at such a wonderful event!

Please think before you litter. Recycle your plastics, glass, and aluminum, and make sure your trash is properly secured in a waste receptacle to prevent it from being blown into our waterways. Together, we can keep our Savannah River Basin healthy. #savriverkeeper #savannah

This week, while clearing out several trash booms in Savannah, GA with @OspreyInitiative we were stunned by the sheer volume of litter we discovered. From Styrofoam to-go cups and glass bottles to discarded shoes, the banks were littered with debris.

With that in mind, please be mindful of interacting in stagnate waterways during a dry period. Rain is an integral part of a healthy river basin.

of dissolved oxygen in the water. Low dissolved oxygen levels have been to blame for several of the fish kills we have seen in the Savannah River basin post-Helene.

Rain replenishes our waterways and creates movement, while a lack of rain causes stagnation. Stagnant waterways are breeding grounds for algal blooms and mosquitoes, and a lack of flowing water will allow pollutants and pathogens to accumulate while reducing the amount

As you probably have noticed, the #Savannahriver Basin hasn’t gotten any rain since #HurricaneHelene . While this can help with cleanup and recovery efforts, a lack of rain can have major ramifications on our waterways.

This weekend, we had a wonderful time at the @USCAiken SEED STEM festival. We enjoyed educating our future researchers and scientists on the mission of the Savanah Riverkeeper and encouraging them to become their own river guardians!

Our team member in Savannah, Clöe Lemaire, met with @WSAV to discuss the ongoing fish kill in #Ebenezercreek. Thank you WSAV for giving us this platform to educate more people on this important matter. https://t.co/jeJ99atMRH
