The Ohio River Basin is an environmentally rich region under threat. This summer, the Ohio River Basin Alliance , National Wildlife Federation and University of Louisville’s Envirome Institute unveiled a plan that proposes big, regional solutions. The first public draft of the Ohio River Basin Restoration and Protection Plan , released in June, was developed with input from scientific experts, government and community groups and residents. I talked with Jordan Lubetkin, the NWF’s senior director for Ohio River restoration, about the plan and the groups’ goals. We have Louisville's own [U.S. Rep.] Morgan McGarvey , who is a co-chair of the Ohio River Congressional Caucus with [U.S. Rep.] Erin Houchin , Republican of Indiana.
