Who’s taking care of “our portion” of the Mississippi River? Why and how are they doing it? Alex Roth, Conservation Director for Friends of the Mississippi River (FMR) talks with host Bill Raker about FMR’s mission and its projects to help answer those questions.
What is so special about the River, and why is it so important to “befriend” it? The Mississippi is one of the world’s major river systems in size, habitat diversity and biological productivity; and it’s one of the world’s most important commercial waterways.
Alex explains some of the threats and challenges to the sustainability and health of the river and how friends of the Mississippi are working to protect this great asset.
