Welcome to Potomac Riverkeeper
PRK works for everybody living, working, or playing on the Potomac.
Potomac Riverkeeper, Inc. (PRK) is a non-profit organization that protects and restores water quality in the Potomac River and its tributaries through community action and enforcement. Our goal is to spread awareness of the pollution threatening our rivers and streams, and to use all means available to make them cleaner.
Our goals are shared by a wide variety of people. Across the watershed, commerical fishermen and fishing guides are losing their businesses, anglers are losing their hobby, and kayakers are losing their venue. And everyone is losing access to clean drinking water. These groups of people all want a cleaner Potomac, and many of them support PRK's mission. PRK works for everybody living, working, or playing on the Potomac. We invite you to become involved and help us make healthier rivers and streams a reality.
