保護行動動態(tài)

卡盧薩護水者（美國佛羅里達州）最近公布了其最新的糞便指示菌（FIB）檢測結(jié)果。報告顯示，在邁爾斯堡的曼努埃爾支流發(fā)現(xiàn)糞便指示菌含量升高。鑒于細菌含量高且周邊城市化程度高，任何接觸到該水域的人患病風險都會增加?？ūR薩護水者擔心受污染的水可能會流向城市。他們頻繁進行檢測以確定污染源，但到目前為止，仍未能查明確切原因。

特拉華河保護者瑪雅?范?羅瑟姆（美國特拉華州）談到了在費城水道中發(fā)現(xiàn)數(shù)十億加侖污水的問題。據(jù)美國哥倫比亞廣播公司費城分部分析的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，近 140 億加侖的未經(jīng)處理的污水和受污染的雨水流入了該市的水道。這種污染的一個主要來源是一個類似火車隧道的結(jié)構(gòu)，它是費城合流污水系統(tǒng)的一部分。在暴雨期間，這個系統(tǒng)會不堪重負，導致受污染的水倒灌進居民家中。范?羅瑟姆指出，這些污水泄漏對經(jīng)濟困難的社區(qū)尤其有害，會帶來重大的健康風險。目前，該市正在實施 “綠色城市，清潔水域” 計劃，以減少進入污水系統(tǒng)的雨水量。然而，許多人認為這項新舉措無法完全解決長期存在的污水和暴雨徑流污染水道的問題。

帕舒爾河護水者（孟加拉國）及其合作伙伴在蒙格拉組織了一場人鏈活動，以慶祝世界地球日。來自達卡-蒙格拉的當?shù)仡I導人強調(diào)，人類需要擺脫對化石燃料的依賴，轉(zhuǎn)向綠色能源，以保護地球并確保能源公平。其他發(fā)言者強調(diào)，迫切需要擴大可再生能源的使用，以應對氣候變化，并為子孫后代創(chuàng)造一個宜居的世界。他們還呼吁立即關閉位于孫德爾本斯附近、對環(huán)境有破壞作用的蘭帕爾煤電廠。許多農(nóng)民、漁民、婦女、青年以及各行各業(yè)的人參加了人鏈活動，表達了他們對環(huán)境保護的承諾。

里士滿河護水者（澳大利亞）迎來了來自澳大利亞魚類保護組織（OzFish）的佐伊?懷特，她成為了該組織的新河流保護者。佐伊目前擔任澳大利亞魚類保護組織新南威爾士州北海岸的項目經(jīng)理，在那里她領導魚類棲息地恢復項目，并與當?shù)厣鐓^(qū)密切合作。她致力于保護水生生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的精神與里士滿河保護者組織的使命完美契合。

里士滿河護水者還開啟了一個令人興奮的新篇章：推出了一檔播客節(jié)目《我們是河流保護者》，該節(jié)目將探討里士滿河的健康狀況，并重點介紹最近一項為期三年的河流研究成果。

圣地亞哥海岸護水者（美國加利福尼亞州）執(zhí)行董事菲利普?穆塞加斯最近談到了蒂華納河的問題，該河在 2025 年連續(xù)第二年登上了美國十大瀕危河流名單。穆塞加斯將這條河形容為一個露天下水道，強調(diào)了有毒的環(huán)境迫使附近社區(qū)生活在危險之中。新出現(xiàn)的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，受污染的水中釋放出硫化氫氣體，并且有二十多種工業(yè)化學物質(zhì)（其中許多是致癌物質(zhì)）正不斷地流經(jīng)這條河。這些化學物質(zhì)正在形成氣溶膠，帶來嚴重的呼吸道風險?；顒尤耸烤嬲f，這條河對公眾健康、生物多樣性和當?shù)厣鷳B(tài)系統(tǒng)具有毀滅性的影響，并強調(diào)需要采取集體行動來爭取環(huán)境和公眾健康公正。

孟加拉國護水者和科懷河護水者（孟加拉國）最近進行了一次實地考察，以調(diào)查哈比甘杰的工業(yè)污染問題?？疾煨〗M檢查了該地區(qū)污染嚴重的水體。發(fā)言者強調(diào)，當?shù)厣鐓^(qū)長期以來一直在抗議工業(yè)污染，并警告說哈比甘杰可能會面臨一場類似于達卡河流周邊瀕危地區(qū)的環(huán)境災難。最近的一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，蘇唐河的水和魚中存在微塑料。這種污染嚴重破壞了河流的物理化學性質(zhì)，對該地區(qū)的公眾健康和生物多樣性構(gòu)成了重大威脅。此外，發(fā)言者解釋說，哈比甘杰不受監(jiān)管的工業(yè)污染已經(jīng)導致了一場嚴重的人道主義危機。牲畜、農(nóng)作物、河流和濕地中的魚類以及水生生物多樣性都面臨威脅，而居民們則因這場環(huán)境災難越來越多地遭受各種健康問題的困擾。

伊拉克庫爾德斯坦護水者（伊拉克）正在舉辦一場慶祝藝術(shù)、水和繁榮的節(jié)日。這次活動旨在提高公眾對環(huán)境問題以及當?shù)厮Y源所面臨威脅的認識。參與者將有機會與托普扎瓦的森林警察、應急警察和相關人員會面，這些人員正在努力確保節(jié)日的安全舉行。此外，他們還將準備并運送船只和設備來支持這次活動。

NEWS FROM THE MOVEMENT

Calusa Waterkeeper (Florida, U.S.) has recently published their latest Fecal Indicator Bacteria (FIB) testing results. The report indicates that elevated levels of FIB were found at Manual’s Branch in Fort Myers. Given the high levels of bacteria and the surrounding urbanization, there is an increased risk of illnesses for anyone who comes into contact with that water. Calusa Waterkeeper is concerned that the contaminated water may flow towards the city. They are conducting frequent tests to identify the sources of contamination, but so far, they have not been able to pinpoint the exact cause.

Delaware Riverkeeper (Delaware, U.S.) Maya van Rossum addresses the issue of billions of gallons of sewage found in Philadelphia’s waterways. According to data analyzed by CBS News Philadelphia, nearly 14 billion gallons of raw sewage and polluted stormwater have flowed through the city’s waterways. A major source of this contamination is a train tunnel-like structure that is part of Philadelphia’s combined sewer system. This system can become overloaded during heavy rainfall, forcing contaminated water back into homes. Van Rossum points out that these polluted water spills are especially detrimental to economically challenged neighborhoods, posing significant health risks. Currently, the city is in the process of implementing the “Green City, Clean Waters” program to reduce the amount of stormwater entering the sewer system. However, many believe this new initiative will not fully resolve the longstanding problem of sewage and storm runoff polluting the waterways.

Pashur River Waterkeeper (Bangladesh) and its partners organized a human chain event in Mongla to celebrate World Earth Day. The local leader from Dhaka-Mongla emphasized the need for humanity to shift away from fossil fuels and transition to green energy to protect the Earth and ensure energy justice. Other speakers stressed the urgent need to expand the use of renewable energy to combat climate change and create a livable world for future generations. They also called for the immediate shutdown of the environmentally destructive Rampal coal-based power plant located near the Sundarbans. Many farmers, fishers, women, youth, and people from all walks of life participated in the human chain, expressing their commitment to environmental protection.

Richmond Riverkeeper (Australia) has welcomed Zoe White from OzFish as their new Riverkeeper. Zoe currently serves as OzFish Unlimited’s Project Manager for the New South Wales North Coast, where she leads fish habitat restoration projects and works closely with local communities. Her dedication to protecting aquatic ecosystems aligns seamlessly with Richmond Riverkeeper’s mission.

In an exciting new chapter, Richmond Riverkeeper is also launching a podcast: We Are The Riverkeepers, which will explore the health of the Richmond River and highlight findings from a recent three-year study of the river.

San Diego Coastkeeper (California, U.S.) Executive Director Phillip Musegaas recently addressed the Tijuana River, which has made America’s top ten Most Endangered Rivers List for the second consecutive year in 2025. Describing the river as an open sewer, Musegaas highlighted the toxic conditions forcing nearby communities to live in hazardous environments. Emerging data reveals the release of hydrogen sulfide gas from the contaminated water, and over two dozen industrial chemicals—many carcinogenic—are steadily flowing through the river. These chemicals are aerosolizing, posing serious respiratory risks. Activists warn of the river's devastating impact on public health, biodiversity, and local ecosystems, stressing the need for collective action to demand environmental and public health justice.

Waterkeepers Bangladesh and Khowai River Waterkeeper (Bangladesh) recently conducted a field visit to investigate industrial pollution in Habiganj. The team inspected heavily polluted water bodies in the area. Speakers highlighted that the local community has long been protesting against industrial pollution, warning that Habiganj could face an environmental disaster similar to the endangered areas around Dhaka’s rivers. A recent study found microplastics in the water and fish of the Sutang River. This contamination has severely compromised the river’s physicochemical properties, posing a significant threat to public health and biodiversity in the region. Furthermore, the speakers explained that unregulated industrial pollution in Habiganj has led to a severe humanitarian crisis. Livestock, crops, river and wetland fish, and aquatic biodiversity are all at risk, while residents are increasingly suffering from various health problems due to this environmental disaster.

Waterkeepers Iraq-Kurdistan (Iraq) is hosting a festival celebrating art, water, and prosperity. The event aims to raise public awareness about environmental issues and the threats facing local water resources. Participants will have the opportunity to meet with the Forestry Police, Emergency Police, and the Ghatas in Topzawa, who are working to ensure a safe and secure festival. Additionally, they will prepare and deliver boats and equipment to support the event.
