SELC is keeping southern waters clean and flowing, from mountain trout streams to slow-moving blackwater rivers on the coast.  One major priority is battling the #1 source of water pollution in the South: polluted “stormwater” runoff from pavement, construction sites, and industrial areas that is contaminating our drinking water and harming aquatic wildlife.
