Tennessee RIVERKEEPER

The mission of Tennessee Riverkeeper is to protect the Tennessee River and its tributaries by enforcing environmental laws and educating the public. The communities of the Tennessee Valley are all interconnected neighbors upstream and downstream and everyone needs clean water, whether you're black or white, rich or poor, Republican or Democrat. We advocate for the watershed to ensure that future generations will inherit safe, clean water in their communities.

Tennessee Riverkeeper will monitor polluters and their pollution permits, respond to citizen complaints, and utilize other methods to further protect the Tennessee River and its tributaries. When the organization discovers illegal pollution, Tennessee Riverkeeper will enforce environmental laws.

Tennessee Riverkeeper was created by David Whiteside and Mark Martin in 2009. We are governed by a Board of Directors. The organization is a proud member of Waterkeeper Alliance.
