We’re hopeful because more Alabamians are seeing that our vision for the Bay’s future is possible and are taking action to make it reality.
We’re hopeful because more folks recognize they are Baykeepers, too. They understand that economic progress at the expense of our natural resources is not progress at all. But more than that, our communities understand that a healthy economy requires healthy waters, and that we can have both.
We’re hopeful because change is happening. Baykeepers understand that clean and healthy waterways are essential in making Coastal Alabama a rewarding place to live. As a Baykeeper, you’re changing how Alabama protects our economy, our recreation, and our way of life. If our waters are poisoned, so are we.
The hope borne by this change paves the way for more victories in our future. Imagine what is possible when Coastal Alabamians of all backgrounds agree that healthy waterways are non-negotiable.
While we’ve made progress, the challenges ahead remain substantial. Alabama’s criteria for enforcing toxic pollution in our waters is behind national standards. Sewage infrastructure must see investments. Our seagrasses still need clearer water to make a comeback. And too often, special interests prevent our waters from being protected.
Decades of work lie ahead of us. And if we’re to meet these challenges head on, Baykeeper will need your help every step of the way. You give us hope that a clean, healthy, and protected watershed will become reality.
We ask that you’ll defend our waters this holiday season with a tax-deductible gift of $75 or greater. By doing so, you provide the means to protect our natural resources, advocate for our waters, provide students experiences to connect them to our waters, restore lost seagrasses and oyster reefs, and ensure our waters are safe to swim in and our fish are safe to eat.
