or too long, the Elizabeth
River, a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay, has been infamous for pollution.
Instead of lamenting the problem, we prefer to take hope from her
strengths. From Great Bridge Lock to the naval base, you can see the
importance of the Elizabeth River every day in Hampton Roads. She gives us
our work and our play.
The Elizabeth River Project is the catalyst
for restoring the environmental health of this great harbor river while
affirming her value to our port economy.
Our Mission
To restore the Elizabeth River
to the highest practical level of environmental quality through
government, business and community partnerships.
The Elizabeth River Project is
an independent, 501-(c)(3) non-profit organization incorporated in 1993
and governed by a board of directors.
