Apalachicola Riverkeeper

The Riverkeeper is a nonprofit group here to protect
the Apalachicola River & Bay. This is such a wonderful one of a kind
place. It's so important that we pay attention and protect our waters. We
are the only organization that spends 100% of its time on the protection
of the Apalachicola
River and Bay.
Please join us today! We need your financial help to
continue our work.

The Apalachicola Riverkeeper exists to maintain
the quality of life you enjoy as a neighbor of our river, bay,
marshlands, tributaries and watershed. If you enjoy fishing,
paddling, boating, eating seafood, nature photography, clean water,
pristine coastlines or just gazing out at the incredible view from
anywhere in our river

does to keep our river clean and flowing.
In August, the Riverkeeper hosted Sen. Bob Graham and family.
Volunteers assisted us in taking the Graham Family up the Apalachicola River and explaining to all the importance
of our maintaining adequate flows. Click

tour.
