Our Waterkeepers are protecting local waterways, people and communities from the immediate threats of and cumulative impacts of fossil fuels. Our local waterways have been impacted by fossil fuels extraction, storage and transportation, waste products and disposal, and related infrastructure development. As on-the-water experts, our Waterkeepers are raising awareness of how waterways and watersheds are changing due to current and long-term changes in climate. This expansion of fracked gas infrastructure poses significant risks to our water, environment, and communities. One of the most significant threats is the natural gas pipelines carrying fracked gas from other states are being proposed across our region – from Pennsylvania and the mountains in the west to Maryland’s Eastern Shore and through Virginia.
