The collection covers a wide variety of issues facing the middle Susquehanna River watershed and stories about people who passionately promote and protect the river's many resources.
Included in the book are stories on a program to help restore populations of Eastern hellbenders, the dangers of invasive species such as the rusty crayfish and snakehead fish, studies that show a proliferation of microplastics and how we can work together to help reduce the impact, concerns about fracking, abandoned mine drainage, littering, sedimentation/erosion and a variety of other threats impacting our waterways.
There is also information about how state agencies handle fish kills, how to determine if certain substances on waterways indicate pollution, life-saving boating safety tips, a review of education efforts by the Middle Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association such as our Floating Classroom and HERYN (Helping Engage our River's Youth with Nature) programs and a look back at a critical settlement agreement our association announced earlier this year.
