The Mississippi River Restoration & Resilience Initiative
The Mississippi River Restoration & Resilience Initiative (MRRRI) is a proposed federal framework to restore the Mississippi River and protect the $500 billion economy and 20 million people who depend on it. The initiative seeks to address severe ecological decline, including a $6.2 billion flood impact from 2019 and an $82 million annual loss in the Gulf of Mexico due to nitrate-driven dead zones. Managed by the EPA, MRRRI would provide grants for restoration and resilience projects, prioritizing at-risk Indigenous, rural, and low-income communities.
