Coastal Rivers
Mission Statement
The mission of Coastal Rivers is to improve the quality of life in South Mississippi by reducing the amount of marine litter in our coastal waterways by the removal of litter and debris on a regular basis by Coastal Rivers and its volunteers, and to promote stewardship of our waterways through education of the public on the negative impact of marine litter on both the environment and our quality of life.
