Black Warrior Riverkeeper

Black Warrior Riverkeeper's mission is to protect and restore the Black Warrior River and its tributaries. The organization uses a watershed approach to ensure clean water, a healthy aquatic environment, and the recreational and aesthetic values of the river.

Black Warrior Riverkeeper's mission is to protect and restore the Black Warrior River and its tributaries. We are a citizen-based nonprofit organization dedicated to improving public health, recreation, and wildlife habitat throughout our patrol area, the Black Warrior River watershed. This vital river basin is home to over a million people and is entirely contained within Alabama, America's leading state for freshwater biodiversity. Throughout the watershed, our staff identifies major pollution problems and works on cleaning them up while increasing public awareness. Our Riverkeeper Patrol Program and Legal Program have been increasingly effective in addressing many problems over the years. To report pollution, contact our Riverkeeper, Nelson Brooke at (205) 458-0095 or nbrooke@blackwarriorriver.org or use our online form: blackwarriorriver.org/report-pollution.
