Item Title:Presentation, St. Marys Riverkeeper re: State of the River
Date:3/13/2023
Department:County Manager
Background:
St. Marys Riverkeeper grew from the vision of several members of the St. Marys River Management Committee (SMRMC) into an advisory entity made up of commission-appointed citizens from Baker and Nassau Counties in Florida and Camden and Charlton Counties in Georgia, the jurisdictions through which the St. Marys River flows.  Founders believed that the river needed a powerful advocacy and fundraising group to protect it from the growing threats of land development and population growth.  St. Marys Riverkeeper is a privately funded, independent and trusted voice for the St. Marys River and the public to whom it belongs.
