Riverkeeper members and volunteers at anniversary party, October 2006

The Patuxent Riverkeeper organization works to improve, protect and preserve the river and the watershed...to help make sure that our vital water resources and the surrounding ecosystem are not squandered and do not degrade from neglect, abuse and public indifference. The Patuxent River covers 930 square miles of watershed and runs for 110 miles through nearly the entire length of the State of Maryland.

The Patuxent Riverkeeper is a direct advocate for responsible action and policies to protect the river. The Riverkeeper promotes responsible land use practices, a pollution free River, improved stewardship and maximum compliance with water quality laws. The valuable outcomes of this focused advocacy are preservation of the river’s wildlife, marine life, cultural diversity, vitality and history. These aims can preserve a birthright for all Marylanders.
