Our Vision: To be the pre-eminent "VOICE" of the Coosa, Alabama, and Tallapoosa Rivers

Welcome to the Coosa-Alabama River Improvement Association, Inc. We are a not-for-profit organization that believes in promoting the multipurpose use of waterways while protecting the ecological health of our river basins: the Alabama, the Coosa, and the Tallapoosa.

Below you will find our mission statement, goals, and information on how to contact us. Clicking on the navigation links will take you to those areas of our site that amplify our history, philosophy, structure, and activities.

If you believe, as we do, that our society can have both economic development and protection for our ecology, then you should be interested in what our Association is doing. If you consider any of the following to be true:

Economic development should be carried out with the environment in mind;
Waterways should be developed for human activity with a balanced, reasonable approach and understanding of the costs involved;
Barges are the safest, most efficient, most environmentally friendly of all modes of transportation
Our rivers provide opportunities across a wide spectrum of activities,

then this site is for you.
