Waccamaw Riverkeeper

serving the rivers in the Winyah Bay Watershed

Welcome to the Waccamaw RIVERKEEPER® Program
of the Winyah Rivers Foundation

The mission of the Winyah Rivers Foundation is to protect, preserve, monitor, and revitalize the health of the lands and waters of the greater Winyah Bay watershed.

Christine Ellis, Waccamaw RiverkeeperWe are a grassroots organization whose members support the mission of protecting the rivers in the great watershed that empties into Winyah Bay at Georgetown, South Carolina, including the Waccamaw River, the Pee Dee and Little Pee Dee Rivers, the Black River, the Lynches River and the Sampit River.

The Waccamaw RIVERKEEPER® Program was established in 2002 to educate and advocate for the protection of the Waccamaw River watershed in North and South Carolina. The Waccamaw Riverkeeper, Christine Ellis, is a paid advocate. She works to mobilize citizens to protect the river and its traditional beneficial uses.

Please support our education and advocacy programs to protect our local rivers by volunteering, donating and becoming a member today. Together we can make a difference!
