保护行动动态
阿巴拉契科拉河护水者（美国佛罗里达州）迎来了一场重大胜利，塔拉哈西的一位行政法官建议佛罗里达州环境保护部（DEP）驳回在佛罗里达州西北部阿巴拉契科拉河流域进行油气钻探的许可申请。2024 年 4 月，阿巴拉契科拉河护水者对佛罗里达州环境保护部颁发的一项拟议许可提出了质疑，该许可允许克利尔沃特土地与矿产有限责任公司钻一口定向探井。一旦发生石油泄漏，可能会造成灾难性后果，尤其是考虑到该区域靠近溪流、湿地和其他水体。与此同时，佛罗里达州立法机构正在推进一项提案（HB 1143），以禁止在阿巴拉契科拉河附近进行石油勘探和钻探。推动该法案的部分原因是英国石油公司 “深海地平线” 号石油泄漏事件的后续影响，那次事件导致佛罗里达州狭长地带数英里的海滩被石油污染。
黑勇士河护水者、卡哈巴河护水者、乔克托哈奇河护水者、库萨河护水者以及莫比尔湾护水者（美国阿拉巴马州）已向阿拉巴马州环境管理委员会提交了一份制定规则的请愿书。这份请愿书敦促该州更新并公布对十二种优先有毒污染物经修订的毒性值。阿拉巴马州尚未按照《清洁水法》的要求审查或采用对这些污染物经修订的毒性值，而这对于保护该州用水者和鱼类消费者的健康至关重要。这份制定规则的请愿书得到了大量支持拟议修正案的证据和信息的支撑。
哈得孙河护水者（美国纽约州）通过其近期成功的《清洁水法》诉讼案，为哈得孙河谷基础组织争取到了 23.5 万美元的资金。这笔资金将用于该组织的 “环境效益项目”，该项目旨在当地学校种植近 400 棵、50 个不同品种的树木。这一举措旨在截留暴雨径流，提供降温效益，并改善该地区的水质。此外，这笔资金还将支持哈得孙河谷基础组织积极开展的洪泛区修复工作。该组织还将定期进行清理工作，并为基于自然的项目制定设计方案，以改善当地的栖息地。
伦敦护水者（英国）已与沃特斯卡恩公司合作，加大其保护伦敦河流的力度。作为沃特斯卡恩公司的年度慈善合作伙伴，伦敦护水者将在开发新工具以简化数据存储和分析方面获得支持，这将使该组织能够从复杂的城市水质数据中获得更清晰的洞察。此外，沃特斯卡恩公司还将协助开展基于技能的志愿服务活动，包括对全氟和多氟烷基物质（PFAS）等新出现问题的研究。
上密苏里河护水者（美国蒙大拿州）以及比格霍尔河基金会提交的关于解决比格霍尔河污染源问题的请愿书已被蒙大拿州环境质量部驳回。蒙大拿州环境质量部声称不存在已获许可的污染源，因此无需进行水质受损认定。美国环境保护署的一位发言人表示，现行的氮和磷标准将继续有效，直至修订为止。对此，上密苏里河护水者和比格霍尔河基金会重新提交了更多材料，敦促蒙大拿州环境质量部采取行动并应用数值化的营养物标准。
孟加拉国护水者最近参加了在菲律宾举行的一次讨论，以帮助建立 “全球自然权利联盟” 的区域中心。这些区域中心旨在将倡导自然权利的工作分散化，促进国际合作与知识共享。此外，孟加拉国护水者还参加了一场关于为打造无污染城市发展可再生能源的政策对话，强调了制定可再生能源总体规划和投资策略的必要性，这也是年轻的气候领袖们在地球日 “为地球而行走” 活动期间所讨论的内容。

NEWS FROM THE MOVEMENT
Apalachicola Riverkeeper (Florida, U.S.) celebrated a significant victory when a Tallahassee administrative judge recommended that the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) deny a permit for oil and gas drilling in the Apalachicola River Basin in Northwest Florida. In April 2024, Apalachicola Riverkeeper challenged a proposed permit issued by DEP that would allow Clearwater Land and Minerals LLC to drill a directional exploratory well. If a spill were to occur, it could have catastrophic consequences, especially given the closeness to streams, wetlands, and other bodies of water. Meanwhile, the Florida legislature is advancing a proposal (HB 1143) to ban oil exploration and drilling near the Apalachicola River. This push for the bill is partly motivated by the aftermath of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill, which resulted in miles of oiled beaches in the Florida Panhandle.
Black Warrior Riverkeeper, Cahaba Riverkeeper, Choctawhatchee Riverkeeper, Coosa Riverkeeper, and Mobile Baykeeper, (Alabama, U.S.) have submitted a petition for rulemaking to Alabama’s Environmental Management Commission. This petition urges the state to update and publish amended toxicity values for twelve priority toxic pollutants. Alabama has not reviewed or adopted revised toxicity values for these pollutants as required by the Clean Water Act, which is essential for protecting the health of water users and fish consumers in the state. The petition for rulemaking is supported by substantial evidence and information advocating for the proposed amendments.
Hudson Riverkeeper (New York, U.S.) secured $235,000 for Groundwork Hudson Valley through their recent successful Clean Water Act lawsuit. The funding will go towards the organization’s "Environmental Benefit Project," which aims to plant nearly 400 trees across 50 different species at local schools. This initiative is designed to capture stormwater runoff, provide cooling benefits, and improve water quality in the region. Additionally, the funds will support Groundwork Hudson Valley's active floodplain restoration sites. The organization will also conduct regular cleanups and develop designs for nature-based projects to enhance local habitats.
London Waterkeeper (United Kingdom) has partnered with Waterscan to enhance its efforts in protecting the city’s rivers. As Waterscan’s Charity of the Year, London Waterkeeper will receive support in developing new tools to streamline data storage and analysis, enabling the organization to gain clearer insights from complex urban water quality data. Additionally, Waterscan will assist with skills-based volunteering, including research into emerging issues such as PFAS.
Upper Missouri Waterkeeper (Montana, U.S.) and the Big Hole River Foundation's petition to address pollution sources in the Big Hole River has been denied by the Montana DEQ. The DEQ claims there are no permitted pollution sources, so an impairment designation is unnecessary. A U.S. EPA spokesperson stated that the current nitrogen and phosphorus standards will remain in effect until revised. In response, Upper Missouri Waterkeeper and the Big Hole Foundation resubmitted additional materials, urging the DEQ to take action and apply the numeric nutrient standards.
Waterkeepers Bangladesh (Bangladesh) recently participated in a discussion in the Philippines to help establish regional hubs for the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature. These hubs aim to decentralize advocacy for nature's rights, fostering international collaboration and knowledge sharing. Additionally, Waterkeepers Bangladesh attended a policy dialogue on renewable energy for pollution-free cities, highlighting the need for a Renewable Energy Master Plan and investment strategies, discussed by young climate leaders during "Walk for the Earth" on Earth Day.
