Apalachicola Riverkeeper has won a hard-fought legal fight to stop an exploratory oil drilling permit in the floodplain of the Apalachicola River. The Florida DEP has denied a drilling permit to Clearwater Land and Minerals.
Apalachicola Riverkeeper has worked for more than a quarter of a century holding polluters and policymakers accountable, educating about this place and its importance as a natural community of exceptional diversity, rarity and value, and exposing environmental injustices for the people who depend on the environment in many ways. We also are constantly taking the measure of the gap between science and policy, debunking misinformation, and scrutinizing solutions. Through our work we are strengthening local environmental awareness and advocacy, reaching underserved audiences, and training the next generation of caretakers for our river and bay.
Our impact and influence is direct, enduring and systemic. It is felt every time we openly communicate with a local government, inspire a community partner, or publish a story about the unique and sensitive nature of this American Treasure ecosystem. We are at the start of a new century of challenging growth and development pressures, and the cumulative impacts of past mistakes. The work we do has never been more important.
Please remember the importance of this land and water and donate to keep Apalachicola Riverkeeper a strong voice and action partner for the future. We can’t afford to wait to do what is needed today. Thank you for being a partner.
