We all benefit from having clean water in our rivers where we live and work. The White Oak New Riverkeeper Alliance has a new water watchdog, Tess Sanders. It's her job to investigate complaints and pollution found in the waters of Onslow County.

The White Oak New Riverkeeper will also act as an advocate for clean water by enforcing environmental laws. Something Sanders says is critical for any person who lives in the area.

"Nobody wants to go down to the creek and have to wonder if the fish they catch with their child is safe to eat or if it’s even safe for their child to play in that creek," says Sanders.

The New River has gone without a Riverkeeper for the past six months after the New River Foundation lost it's license to have a riverkeeper.
