Mission statement:  Columbia Riverkeeper’s mission is to protect and restore the water quality of the Columbia River and all life connected to it, from the headwaters to the Pacific Ocean.

Columbia Riverkeeper is a result of two groups, Columbia River United and Clean Water Columbia, which merged in 2000.  A public interest group working to protect the Columbia river, they remain a grassroots organization powered by the river communities.   Their strategies include pushing for enforcement of environmental laws, hands-on citizen action and community organizing.  With these strategies, Columbia Riverkeeper seeks to make a positive difference in water quality as well as climate change as a whole.
