The purpose of RiverWay South is to preserve, protect and promote the unique heritage of communities within the Apalachicola, Chattahoochee and Flint (ACF) watershed.

In addition, goals have been set.

We hope to accomplish our mission through development of a master plan (for economic development along the river throughout the ACF watershed) to track and measure economic impact results for the entire region, to serve as a coach for new product initiatives and to market ecologically sensitive and sustainable tourism throughout the entire region.

RiverWay South has defined 4 major immediate objectives including plans to:

• Establish RiverWay South Institute with at least 4 participating universities.
• Design at least 3 new tourism attractors on the river from the following: river cruises, canoe trips, kayak tours and rafting.
• Act as a catalyst in strengthening relationships among the watershed counties by recruiting at least 2 members from each county to serve as and Interagency Task Force to coordinate activities throughout all the counties.
• Establish a resource list of available funding options within the watershed.
