State of the Schuylkill Address 

  • The Schuylkill Navy’s powerpoint deck “State of the Schuylkill Address” is presented here. 
  • Schuylkill Navy of Philadelphia is available to present to programs and organizations on how you can help save the Schuylkill River and its vanishing river depth. Schuylkill Navy is working to engage with as many groups as possible around these topics.
  • For those who missed the meeting, you can watch Saint Joseph University’s video stream from May 7 here.  Share it with your friends and family!
  • Below are the names and addresses of the US Army Corps of Engineers in Washington D.C. to whom you can send “snail mail” letters. These letters make a huge impact and tangible difference.
  • If writing a letter on behalf of your organization, remember to place your organization’s letterhead at the top. If you are unsure whether your club or organization has sent the most basic “institutional affirmation of support,” email Schuylkill Navy at schuylkillnavyofphiladelphia@gmail.com.
