Your report data is sent to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA). The data helps identify sources of trash on the waterway that can be eliminated. On a state-wide level, this data can help identify where education efforts can be concentrated in order to reduce pollution. Globally, the data is submitted to the Ocean Conservancy and used by the EPA, U. S. Coast Guard and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to identify threats facing our nation's waters. It has been assessed that 60-80% of the world’s marine pollution stem from land-based activities carried in part by creeks and rivers.

Thank you for hosting a Fox Rescue cleanup event and helping to connect others to the Fox River and its watershed. Thanks for making a difference!
