Touch the Water
by Anne Daymut, Watershed Coordinator
Touch the water and be touched by the overwhelming success of decades of hard work to clean up the Ohio River Watershed by joining in the 9th Annual Ohio River Watershed Celebration. On September 15th, 2010 this free cruise on the Gateway Clipper Fleet will illustrate our region’s conservation and restoration initiatives, celebrate the economic and cultural resources the watershed offers, and provide unprecedented networking for individuals, agencies, non-profit organizations, and industry representatives. Guests on the cruise will learn about river history, aquatic life, river recovery and much more.
For a testimonial of what the Ohio River Watershed and the 9th Annual Celebration have to offer, take a look at the promotional video of the event.

As was the case last year, two cruises will occur simultaneously; “The Imagination Cruise” for children on the Gateway Clipper’s Empress, and “The Networker Cruise” for adults only on the Gateway Clipper’s Majestic. Registration for the children’s cruise is closed. There is still room on the adults-only “Networker Cruise”. The cruise is free, however each passenger must register. You can register for the “Networker Cruise” at: http://www.streamrestorationinc.org/rsvp/
