This chapter reviews the efforts of five environmental advocacy organizations (EAOs) and associated coalitions: (1) The Friends of the Everglades, (2) The Friends of the Columbia River Gorge, the (3) Chesapeake Bay Foundation, (4) the Riverkeepers Coalition, and (5) the Grand Traverse Band of Chippewa. They all illustrate a fundamental theme of this text, i.e. that our environmental advocacy organizations effectively manifest our collective duties of virtue. As such, they embody the most effective aspects of our environmental restoration movement. These organizations assist in promoting our “fair and reasoned criteria” for our society’s decisions concerning environmental restoration: (i) that these decisions are uncorrupted by narrow conflicts of interest, (ii) that our decision processes are fully informed of the relevant scientific and socioeconomic analyses, (iii) that our decision processes are fully open to discourse from all affected interests, and (iv) the decisions are logical according to the Rawlsian “stability criteria of independent review” as explained in previous chapters. Elinor Ostrom’s institutional analyses and requirements are also applied to these organizational examples. A conclusion concerning the political motivation behind the formation of environmental organizations is posed and substantiated by the actions of the five organizations cited above.
