Mobile, Alabama is the birthplace of Mardi Gras, but that means finding new ways to clean up after the parties!

Now more than ever, our nation’s most environmentally, economically, and culturally important waters need your help. A host of threats loom over the future of our coasts and the communities that rely on them. Sea-level rise, flooding, erosion and other impacts from a changing climate are impacting an increasing number of areas with increasing frequency.
Restore America’s Estuaries works to counter these and other threats with a host of partners nationwide. Your donation will help us engage local communities to bring about on-the-ground results, advance science and policy to conserve endangered areas across the country, and ensure the benefits of coastal restoration are shared by all communities.

Each year at Restore America’s Estuaries’ National Summit, attendees arrive early to participate in a hands-on restoration project. This year, we took to the Los Cerritos Wetlands to remove invasive species, plant natives, and simply enjoy an afternoon in the sun!
The 30th celebration of National Estuaries Week this year was a huge success. Organizations and volunteers from across the country gathered at their local bays, riverfronts, and classrooms to celebrate and learn about the importance of our estuaries and how they benefit our daily lives.
Not a scientist by trade, RAE’s operations manager describes why she feels inspired to work for an environmental nonprofit — even if she’s just learning about blue carbon and climate change.
Earlier this year RAE entered into a multi-year partnership with the Clean Foundation of Nova Scotia, Canada. Their focus is restoring salt marshes in the area, and we know a thing or two about restoration!
