Georgia is home to more than 70,000 miles of streams, 425,000
acres of reservoirs and lakes, 429,924 acres of coastal
marshlands, 4.5 million acres of freshwater wetlands, 265
species of fish, and 165 species of freshwater mussels and
snails. And there are 10 million Georgians who need clean water!

do it. Together, we can make a difference. Click here to learn
