Paddle4Blue Comes to the Heartland

Last year, Margo Pellegrino, an advocate for clean water, paddled two months in an outrigger canoe from Newark, New Jersey, to Chicago as part of the Paddle4Blue awareness campaign. She will make the second leg of her journey, from Chicago to New Orleans via the Mississippi River and the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, from mid-August to mid-October this year. Along the way, she will draw attention to issues impacting our inland waterways and ocean and urge communities to take necessary action to protect these resources.
