You Can Help!

We have a dedicated Water Reporter app, just for Respect the Shenandoah, that shows algae outbreaks in real-time — reported by folks like you.

Download Water Reporter in the Apple App Store 

Whenever you’re out on the river and you see a disturbing algae outbreak or bloom, just log it on the map.

This helps your fellow river users and it helps us by providing data to demonstrate to authorities how widespread the problem is.
