Today, Riverkeeper Tonya Bonitatibus delivered a presentation to members of the Savannah Maritime Association; a partnership of maritime-related companies dedicated to the safety and development of the Savannah port.
The presentation detailed the many uses of the Savannah River and how the Savannah Riverkeeper fulfills three main goals: the restoration, protection and education of the river and its tributaries. Tonya's presentation also discussed the inter-connectivity of our fresh water systems and the ocean's health, while highlighting the crucial importance of our esturine marsh systems.
The meeting gave the Savannah Riverkeeper an opportunity to voice concerns about proposed mitigation plans to counter the environmental impacts of the Savannah Harbor Deepening Project. The Savannah Riverkeeper continues to work closely with all groups involved in the project to ensure the most effective mitigation plans are put into place.
