Columbia Riverkeeper works to protect, restore, and care for the Columbia River.
How we do it.
Protect
We protect Columbia River communities and habitat from new threats, such as fossil fuel export terminals and intensive industrial development.
Restore
We restore our right to clean water and healthy fish by reducing toxic pollution.
Care
We care for the river by providing hands-on opportunities for diverse communities to engage with their river.
