## Resource

Today, we’re exploring one of the most vital waterways in the Southeast, the Chattahoochee River . Our guest is Henry Jacobs , Deputy Director at Chattahoochee Riverkeeper , an organization that has been on the front lines of river protection since 1994. From drinking water for millions to habitat for countless species, the Chattahoochee is a lifeline, but it also faces serious challenges, from pollution to the impacts of climate change. In this episode, we’ll talk with Henry about the river’s geography and ecology, the evolution of Chattahoochee Riverkeeper’s mission, and the innovative programs they’ve launched, from floating classrooms to trash traps, making a real difference on the ground and in the water. We’ll also hear what the data is telling us about the river’s health and how every one of us can play a role in protecting this critical resource.
