The Elizabeth River Project is a non-profit organization located in Portsmouth, Virginia, dedicated to restoring and protecting the Elizabeth River, one of the most polluted rivers in the United States. The organization was founded in 1993 and has since been working tirelessly to improve the health of the river and its surrounding ecosystem.

The Elizabeth River Project's mission is to reduce pollution, restore wildlife habitats, and promote environmental education and stewardship. The organization works with local businesses, government agencies, and community members to achieve these goals. They have implemented numerous programs and initiatives, such as river cleanups, oyster restoration, and rain garden installations.

One of the most significant achievements of the Elizabeth River Project is the restoration of the river's oyster population. The organization has worked to create oyster reefs in the river, which not only improve water quality but also provide habitat for other marine life.

The Elizabeth River Project also provides educational programs for students and the community. They offer field trips, classroom presentations, and professional development opportunities for teachers. Additionally, they host events and workshops for the public, such as river cleanups and nature walks.

Overall, the Elizabeth River Project is a crucial organization in the effort to restore and protect the Elizabeth River and its surrounding ecosystem. Thanks to their efforts, the river is gradually becoming a healthier and more vibrant natural resource for the community to enjoy.
