Welcome to the twitter account for the project "Black Lives on the Forgotten River: Linking Water Pollution, Subsistence Fishing, and Wellbeing along the Anacostia". The goal of this project is to help the people of Anacostia and protect the tradition of subsistence fishing.

Subsistence fishing is a tradition & can bring people together. What can we do to save it?
