Big Sandy River Basin Coalition Inc.

The Big Sandy River Watershed drains an area in three different states. (KY, VA, WV)
Often state lines have prevented resource managers looking at the watershed as a whole.

In an effort to unite organizations, individuals and agency staff working to protect the watershed, We have formed the "Big Sandy River Basin Coalition Inc. " to help organize what people are doing to protect their watershed.
