WHAT IS MRRRI?
Mississippi River Restoration and Resilience Initiative (MRRRI)
The MRRRI is a bold plan to restore the ecological health of the Mississippi River and its communities. By focusing on reducing nutrient pollution, protecting wetlands, and ensuring clean water, the initiative would address critical issues affecting the river's future. We need your help to endorse this initiative and secure the future of the Mississippi by concentrating on:
- Protecting our drinking water by reducing runoff pollution
- Reducing flood and storm risks and increase community resilience through ecologically sound management
- Protecting and restoring wildlife habitat, in part by preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species
MRRRI would be non-regulatory. It would provide funds for restoration projects in river states, cities, townships, and tribal nations while prioritizing the most at-risk communities.
