Such data sets on large rivers remain regrettably rare, but where they have been collected they are providing important insights into large river structure and function.

CHAD PREGRACKE
Environmentalist and 2013 CNN Hero of the Year Growing up just a few yards from the Mississippi River and working as a commercial shell diver during summers, Chad Pregracke witnessed firsthand the spoiling of our rivers. After calls to officials went unanswered, he waded into the river himself. What began as a week-end clean-up project has ballooned into a nonprofit organization with a $1.6-million annual operating budget and a staggering list of achievements. Living Lands & Waters has a passionate staff and a fleet of five barges, two towboats, and six workboats. Since its inception, Pregracke’s crew and more than 70,000 volunteers have removed over eight million pounds of garbage from 17 major rivers in the U.S. Counted among the haul: 63,000 tires, 18 porta-potties, 14,733 balls, 19 tractors, 4 pianos, and 63 messages in a bottle.
Pregracke is as committed to education and habitat restoration as he is to hauling away the junk. His team reached 39,000 students in 2011 alone and they are on a mission to plant one million trees across the U.S. They also regularly contribute their fleet and resources to aid in disaster recovery. In 2002, Pregracke received America’s version of the Nobel Prize, the Jefferson Award for Public Service, alongside Bill and Melinda Gates. In 2011, he was recognized as a Service Hero at the Points of Light Tribute. The author of From the BottomUp: One Man’s Crusade to Clean
America’s Rivers, Pregracke has emerged as a strong, articulate, and passionate voice for making a difference, one person at a time.
