Show by Jenn Galler
Today, we’re diving into the health of Charleston’s waterways and the work being done to protect them.I talked with Riley Egger, the Advocacy and Policy Director at Charleston Waterkeeper. Charleston is a community deeply connected to its rivers, creeks, marshes, and harbor, but those waterways face a growing number of challenges, from pollution and development to flooding, population growth, and the impacts of a changing climate.In this episode, Riley helps us better understand what makes Charleston’s waterways so unique, the threats they face, and the work Charleston Waterkeeper is doing on the ground through water quality monitoring, habitat restoration, and advocacy.We’ll also talk about how scientific data can shape policy, how monitoring can lead to real-world change, and what the latest water quality trends are telling us about the future of Charleston’s waterways.Contact and connect: https://charlestonwaterkeeper.org/
