Our Mission:

To protect and restore the Anacostia River for all who live, work and play in its watershed, and to advocate for a clean, healthy river for all its communities.

Our mission at the Alliance for the Great Lakes is to conserve and restore the world's largest freshwater resource using policy, education and local efforts, ensuring a healthy Great Lakes and clean water for generations of people and wildlife.

Mission

The coalition’s mission is to secure a sustainable Great Lakes restoration plan and the funding needed to implement it. The coalition seeks to:

· stop sewage contamination that closes beaches and harms recreational opportunities;

· clean up toxic sediments that threaten the health of people and wildlife;

· prevent polluted runoff from cities and farms that harm water quality;
