We have seen remarkable progress as the Potomac is the cleanest and healthiest it’s been in generations. From a river blanketed in green algae to a thriving waterway for plants, native fish, and nature lovers, we have come a long way. Despite this resurgence, our mission is more critical than ever.

We have a small window of opportunity to make the Potomac resilient and healthy – to finally return swimmable and fishable waters to all communities.

In an unprecedented initiative, Potomac Conservancy is embarking on a Clean Water, Healthy Communities Campaign to protect the Potomac River and secure a clean water future.
