Protecting Virginia's Waters and Coastal Cities

  Protect Virginia is a grassroots effort of citizens concerned about Virginia’s rivers, estuaries, the Chesapeake Bay, and coastal ports and cities. Protect Virginia believes in managed growth that ensures a balance with both nature and the affected communities. 

The growth of the large cruise ship industry in Virginia is our primary focus and concern . The scale of these ships is massive leading to impacts in port communities and pollution in Virginia waters. The detrimental effects of the cruise industry are well documented, and we ask you take a few minutes to learn about this industry and join us in stopping the adverse effects that will impact our treasured Virginia waters and coastal communities.
