December 2023 Keeper’s Report
Dear Waterkeeper Community,
The momentum to keep your waterways clean and protected is stronger than ever and your support over this past year, volunteering your time, advising our teams, contributing to make a difference, being the voice of change and reporting on pollution in your community, is helping to create a clean water future, where all of Charleston’s waterways are protected by a dedicated community of stewards like you!
It is remarkable what you empowered in 2023. We are inspired by our strong community and prepared to take on 2024 with your support!
Take a moment to dive in and reflect: 🌊
The fight for clean water cannot happen without you choosing to stand up and protect and restore Charleston’s coastal waters and habitat for the next generation.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve as the eyes, ears, and voice of your waterways. If you haven’t already done so, please consider giving the gift of clean water today!
Cheers!
Your Charleston Waterkeeper Team
