保護行動動態

美國佛羅里達州的阿巴拉契科拉護水者最近對授予佛羅里達克利爾沃特土地與礦產公司的一項在阿巴拉契科拉河附近進行油氣鉆探的許可提出了質疑。作為回應，參議員科里?西蒙和眾議員杰森?肖夫提交了法案，對這類項目實施更嚴格的審批標準。這些法案旨在通過要求佛羅里達州環境保護部（DEP）在發放許可前進行 “平衡測試” 以評估潛在的環境影響，來保護佛羅里達州的淡水河流和沿海海岸線。有了這一舉措，佛羅里達州的生態系統和水資源將免受油氣鉆探項目對自然資源造成的有害影響。

美國北卡羅來納州的弗倫奇布羅德護水者迎來了安娜?阿爾索布魯克擔任其新的護水者。在過去十年里，安娜一直是弗倫奇布羅德護水者團隊中極有價值的一員，她參與河流探險、復雜的宣傳活動和環境采樣等工作，同時始終將有意義的清理行動放在首位。她已準備好在新崗位上表現出色，領導該組織開展保護和修復弗倫奇布羅德河的工作。

美國猶他州的大鹽湖護水者和猶他州河流委員會正在反對最近通過的一項經濟發展法案，該法案設立了蜂巢發展局（BDA）。這些組織認為，蜂巢發展局擁有包括規劃、債券發行、土地使用和征稅等廣泛權力，這可能會提高水價，并進一步危及本已受到威脅的大鹽湖。他們尤其擔心那些可能會對環境和當地社區產生負面影響的快速推進的水利項目。大鹽湖護水者組織正敦促公眾就這項立法可能產生的后果表達他們的擔憂。

美國佛羅里達州的邁阿密護水者瑞秋?西爾弗斯坦正與佛羅里達州的米科蘇基印第安部落合作，對美國核管理委員會（NRC）允許火雞角核電站成為美國首個將運行時間延長至 80 年（超出其原始許可期限）的反應堆的決定提出上訴。這一延期給南佛羅里達州的社區帶來了更高的核災難風險。
位于邁阿密戴德縣南部的火雞角核電站建于 1967 年，為大約 300 萬人供電，由于其地勢低洼，在氣候緊急狀況下極易受到洪水和高溫的影響。此外，該核電站冷卻渠排放的有毒羽狀物有可能污染比斯坎含水層，而這是數百萬人的飲用水源。這些組織認為，鑒于過去的核災難以及美國核管理委員會未能解決氣候變化風險的問題，目前的這些情況正醞釀著一場災難。

美國佐治亞州的奧吉奇護水者最近創建了一個 “藍天” 入門套裝，其中展示了來自世界各地護水者組織的相關信息，用戶可以借此與這些組織建立聯系并關注他們的工作。

加拿大的渥太華護水者最近從韋爾奇社區基金會獲得了一筆為期五年、總額 7.5 萬美元的認捐，以支持他們保護和改善渥太華河健康狀況的使命。這筆資金將用于支持重要的科學和教育項目，比如 “河流學校”（向青少年傳授生態系統健康知識），以及渥太華護水者組織在國家首都委員會河畔之家設立的 “學習實驗室”（一個面向公眾的互動教育空間）。

美國華盛頓州的斯波坎護水者最近收到了來自紅帶鱒魚集會基金和斯波坎印第安人隊的 2.3 萬美元捐款，以支持他們修復和保護斯波坎河的工作。這筆資金將使護水者組織能夠購買用于清理水面垃圾的設備，包括一艘木筏和一輛拖車，還能資助一名暑期實習生。這筆捐款還提供了充氣皮劃艇，用于宣傳和教育活動。這項于 2017 年與斯波坎印第安部落和斯波坎市合作發起的倡議，旨在確保斯波坎河保持清潔健康，讓本土的紅帶鱒魚能夠茁壯成長。

孟加拉國的護水者正積極提高公眾意識，并倡導保護孫德爾本斯紅樹林。他們最近在孫德爾本斯日參加了一場集會，以強調氣候變化和工業擴張帶來的威脅，集會上發言者批評了蘭帕爾發電廠的污染問題和不可持續的運營方式。孟加拉國護水者組織還與 “DHORA” 組織舉辦了為期三天的研討會，以制定環境保護、氣候正義和宣傳策略。此外，在孫德爾本斯日，他們與 “DHORA” 組織一起開展了領導力培訓，以應對水污染問題并倡導保護孫德爾本斯。最后，他們與 “Dhoritri Rokkhay Amra” 組織共同舉辦了一場繪畫比賽和討論活動，以慶祝孫德爾本斯日并提高人們對其重要性的認識。這些舉措表明了孟加拉國護水者組織致力于保護孫德爾本斯，這是一個對生物多樣性和當地社區至關重要的生態系統。

倡導資源

為支持針對清潔水、環境保護及政策所受攻擊的有效反對策略，護水者為護水者組織創建了一個工具和資源庫。該資源庫可在下方二維碼訪問，并將根據政策發展、重點、挑戰和機遇定期更新。此內容最初聚焦于美國總統選舉及其對環境問題的影響，因為它是應美國護水者的要求創建的。這并非意在排他，然而，我們必須考慮到特朗普政府的許多政策決定和行動可能會產生全球影響。例如，美國退出《巴黎協定》對您所在地區有何影響？您是否擔心這會削弱全球應對氣候變化的努力？您所在地區與政治和環境形勢相關的其他具體挑戰或機遇，我們是否應該知曉？為確保滿足所有護水者的需求，并加強全球對清潔水受攻擊問題的統一應對，我們鼓勵您與護水者會員服務總監巴特?米哈伊洛維奇分享反饋，以便為您的倡導工作提供及時且有針對性的支持。

NEWS FROM THE MOVEMENT

Apalachicola Riverkeeper(Florida, U.S.) recently challenged a permit granted to Clearwater Land & Minerals Fla. for oil and gas drilling near the Apalachicola River. In response, Senator Corey Simon and Representative Jason Shoaf filed bills to impose stricter approval standards on such projects. The bills aim to protect Florida's freshwater rivers and coastal shorelines by requiring the DEP to conduct a "balancing test" to assess the potential environmental impact before issuing permits. With this initiative, Florida's ecosystems and water resources will be safeguarded from the detrimental impacts oil and gas drilling projects have on natural resources.

French Broad Riverkeeper(North Carolina, U.S.) welcomed Anna Alsobrook as its new Riverkeeper. Anna has been an invaluable member of the French Broad Riverkeeper team for the past ten years, embracing river adventures, complex advocacy efforts, and environmental sampling, all while prioritizing meaningful clean-up initiatives. She is prepared to excel in her new role, leading the organization's work to protect and restore the French Broad River.

Great Salt Lake Waterkeeper(Utah, U.S.) and the Utah Rivers Council are opposing a recently passed economic development bill that created the Beehive Development Agency (BDA). The groups argue that the BDA's broad authority, including planning, bonding, land use, and taxing, could increase water rates and further endanger the already threatened Great Salt Lake. They are particularly concerned about the potential for fast-tracked water projects that could negatively impact the environment and local communities. Great Salt Lake Waterkeeper is urging the public to voice their concerns about the potential consequences of this legislation.

Miami Waterkeeper(Florida, U.S.), Rachel Silverstein, is partnering with the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida to appeal the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)'s decision to allow Turkey Point to become the first reactor in the country to extend run time for 80 years, which is beyond their original permits.This extension poses a higher risk of nuclear disaster to South Florida communities.
Built in 1967, the Turkey Point facility in south Miami-Dade county provides power to about three million people, and is extremely vulnerable to flooding and excessive heat from the climate emergency due to its low-lying position. Additionally, a toxic plume from the plant's cooling canals threatens to contaminate the Biscayne Aquifer, the source of drinking water for millions. The groups argue that these conditions are a disaster waiting to happen, citing past nuclear disasters and the NRC's failure to address climate change risks.

Ogeechee Riverkeeper(Georgia, U.S.) recently created a BlueSky starter pack featuring the accounts of Waterkeeper groups from around the world, allowing users to connect with and follow their work.

Ottawa Riverkeeper(Canada) recently received a $75,000 pledge over five years from the Welch Community Foundation to support their mission of protecting and improving the health of the Ottawa River. The funding will support vital science and education programs, such as River School, which teaches youth about ecosystem health, and the Ottawa Riverkeeper's Learning Lab at the NCC River House, a public interactive education space.

Spokane Riverkeeper(Washington, U.S.)recently received a $23,000 donation from the Redband Rally Fund and the Spokane Indians to support their work in restoring and protecting the Spokane River. This funding will enable the Riverkeeper to purchase equipment for on-the-water litter removal, including a raft and trailer, and to support a summer intern. The donation also provides inflatable kayaks for outreach and educational activities. This initiative, launched in 2017 in collaboration with the Spokane Tribe of Indians and the City of Spokane, aims to ensure a clean and healthy Spokane River where native Redband Trout can thrive.

Waterkeepers Bangladesh( Bangladesh) is actively raising awareness and advocating for the protection of the Sundarbans mangrove forest.They recently participated in a rally on Sundarbans Day to highlight the threats of climate change and industrial expansion, where speakers criticized the Rampal Power Plant's pollution and unsustainable practices.Waterkeepers Bangladesh also held a three-day workshop with DHORA to develop environmental protection, climate justice,and advocacy strategies.Additionally,they conducted leadership training with Dhora on Sundarbans Day to address water pollution and advocate for the Sundarbans' protection. Finally,they organized a drawing competition and discussion with Dhoritri Rokkhay Amra to celebrate Sundarbans Day and raise awareness about its importance.These initiatives demonstrate Waterkeepers Bangladesh's commitment to preserving the Sundarbans,a critical ecosystem for biodiversity and local communities.

ADVOCACY RESOURCES

To support an effective opposition strategy against attacks on clean water, environmental protections, and policies, Waterkeeper Alliance has created a repository of tools and resources for Waterkeeper groups. This repository, available here, will be regularly updated based on policy developments, priorities, challenges, and opportunities. This content initially focuses on the U.S. presidential election and its implications for environmental issues, as it was created in response to requests from U.S. Waterkeeper groups. It was not intended to be exclusionary; however, we must consider that many of the policy decisions and actions from the Trump administration are likely to have global ramifications. For example, how has the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement affected your region? Do you fear it will undermine global efforts to combat climate change? Are there other specific challenges or opportunities related to the political and environmental landscape in your region that we should be aware of? To ensure we are meeting the needs of all Waterkeeper groups and strengthening a united global response to clean water attacks,we encourage you to share feedback with Bart Mihailovich, Waterkeeper Membership Services Director,to inform timely and tailored support for your advocacy efforts.
