保護行動動態(tài)

洪堡護水者（美國加利福尼亞州）已開始對洪堡灣周圍的暴雨徑流進行采樣，以確定污染熱點區(qū)域。他們特別在尋找 6PPD 的存在，6PPD 是一種添加到輪胎和其他橡膠制品中以防止磨損和風(fēng)化的抗降解化學(xué)物質(zhì)。當(dāng)它分解時，會形成 6PPD 醌，這是一種對水生生物劇毒的化合物。2024 年 6 月，美國環(huán)境保護署發(fā)布了關(guān)于 6PPD 醌的非強制性篩查標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。各州和部落可以在其水質(zhì)保護項目中使用這些標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，以保護那些受這些化學(xué)物質(zhì)影響極大的魚類物種。此外，加利福尼亞州有毒物質(zhì)控制部門也在努力開發(fā) 6PPD 的替代品。在一項相關(guān)行動中，加利福尼亞海岸護水者（美國加利福尼亞州）呼吁州水資源委員會采取預(yù)防措施，阻止 6PPD 從道路流入溪流。

洛杉磯護水者（美國加利福尼亞州）和十幾個倡導(dǎo)團體就市長凱倫?巴斯提出的撤銷氣候緊急動員辦公室（CEMO）的提案，向市議會的預(yù)算和財務(wù)委員會撰寫了一篇專欄文章。為了解決該市 10 億美元的預(yù)算缺口，巴斯建議犧牲氣候緊急動員辦公室，并縮減石油和天然氣辦公室的規(guī)模，這將為該市節(jié)省約 95 萬美元。《洛杉磯時報》認為這一計劃目光極為短淺，并警告稱這可能會導(dǎo)致失去一筆 75 萬美元的州政府撥款。許多人認為，巴斯低估了極端高溫的危害，盡管數(shù)據(jù)顯示，在過去 25 年里，熱浪已導(dǎo)致超過 2.15 萬名居民死亡。顧問們鼓勵市議會議員拒絕這一提案。

哈得孫河護水者（美國紐約州）呼吁紐約市和州官員采取切實行動，阻止 20 億加侖未經(jīng)處理的污水和受污染的暴雨徑流排入哈萊姆河。紐約州環(huán)境保護部起草了一項提案，旨在更新和改善水質(zhì)評級，以提升紐約市的水質(zhì)。然而，護水者認為，這一擬議措施會讓哈萊姆河的污染無限期地持續(xù)下去。盡管每年有超過 210 億加侖的未經(jīng)處理的污水和受污染的徑流流入該河，但紐約的水質(zhì)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)目前仍將保持不變。針對這一問題，護水者撰寫了一封題為 “不要放棄哈萊姆河” 的信件，倡導(dǎo)加強保護措施。

陽光海岸護水者（美國加利福尼亞州）對海洋時代公司計劃在墨西哥灣建立一個水產(chǎn)養(yǎng)殖設(shè)施表示擔(dān)憂。該公司總部位于夏威夷的凱盧阿 - 科納，目標(biāo)是成為首個在該地區(qū)開展水產(chǎn)養(yǎng)殖業(yè)務(wù)的公司，具體計劃是在薩拉索塔以西約 40 英里處建造一個養(yǎng)魚圍欄。這個設(shè)施的一個主要組成部分是一個可容納 4000 條魚的養(yǎng)殖網(wǎng)箱。海洋時代公司使用大豆?jié)饪s蛋白來減輕對環(huán)境的影響，因為大多數(shù)在野外捕獲的魚通常會成為其他魚類的食物。然而，環(huán)保人士認為，水產(chǎn)養(yǎng)殖對墨西哥灣構(gòu)成嚴重風(fēng)險，包括可能出現(xiàn)的 “魚群逃逸” 情況，逃逸的魚可能會傳播疾病。陽光海岸護水者和塞拉俱樂部已對該公司采取法律行動，導(dǎo)致一名法官阻止了其在全國范圍內(nèi)的許可?，F(xiàn)在，該公司必須申請個別許可，且每個許可都需要進行全面的現(xiàn)場檢查。如果成功，該公司打算大幅擴大其在墨西哥灣的業(yè)務(wù)，這可能會進一步提高其知名度。

上波托馬克河護水者（美國馬里蘭州）從馬里蘭州環(huán)境部（MDE）獲取的檢測數(shù)據(jù)顯示，在馬里蘭州 22 個有通往弗吉尼亞州農(nóng)田途徑的廢水處理廠中，除了一個之外，其余的生物固體中都存在全氟和多氟烷基物質(zhì)（PFAS）。每年，數(shù)十萬噸生物固體被用作弗吉尼亞州農(nóng)場的肥料。今年早些時候，美國環(huán)境保護署發(fā)布了一份風(fēng)險評估草案，警告稱含有低至十億分之一的某些全氟和多氟烷基物質(zhì)化合物的污水污泥可能會對食用附近農(nóng)作物、牲畜或井水的人們構(gòu)成健康風(fēng)險。馬里蘭州是少數(shù)幾個采取措施監(jiān)管生物固體中全氟和多氟烷基物質(zhì)的州之一。2023 年，馬里蘭州環(huán)境部暫停了在檢測到全氟和多氟烷基物質(zhì)的土地上進行土地施用的新許可。值得注意的是，在對其生物固體進行檢測的馬里蘭州廢水處理廠中，除了一個之外，其他廠報告的全氟和多氟烷基物質(zhì)含量都很低。

NEWS FROM THE MOVEMENT

Charleston Waterkeeper (South Carolina, U.S.) has issued a warning about certain hotspots that exhibit high levels of Enterococcus bacteria. Elevated levels of these bacteria can indicate potential contamination from fecal waste, suggesting that harmful pathogens may be present in the water. Exposure to such water can increase the risk of serious health infections, including Cholera, Tuberculosis, Staph, and Vibrio, among others. On a positive note, Charleston Waterkeeper reported that all tested sites meet the state standards for recreational activities. This is reassuring news for boaters in Charleston Harbor and spots around the area.

Congaree Riverkeeper (South Carolina, U.S.) successfully stopped a sewer overflow of several gallons near the Cayce Riverwalk, but the spill has caused significant erosion under the boardwalk section of the trail. Officials say that a portion of the Midlands Trail will remain closed due to damage caused by the sewer overflow. The city reported that the surge occurred because of a failure in the force main where it entered the Congaree River.

Humboldt Waterkeeper and California Coastkeeper Alliance (California, U.S.) have identified "high concentrations" of pollutants in runoff from local parking lots that are harmful to coho salmon. The organizations are endorsing Assembly Bill 1313, which aims to establish statewide stormwater permitting standards for commercial, industrial, and institutional properties. This legislation will help reduce toxic concentrations and encourage parking lot owners to create bioswales that filter out these harmful pollutants. Jennifer Kalt, the executive director of Humboldt Waterkeeper, stated that they have received a small grant to study the impact of a pollutant known as 6PPD. Previous studies conducted in the San Francisco Bay and Seattle areas have shown that this compound is responsible for the deaths of salmon. Kalt also noted that less urban communities, such as Humboldt County, have higher levels of 6PPD. Implementing bioswales in older parking lots would be a quick and cost-effective solution to reduce the presence of this pollutant.

Congratulations to Ottawa Riverkeeper (Canada) for raising $330,000 to support a swimmable, drinkable, and fishable Ottawa River watershed at their gala! Over 350 guests gathered at Jacques Cartier Park to support the protection of the watershed. Colleen Westeinde, chair of the Ottawa Riverkeeper board, expressed that moving to the watershed has enriched her life, and she wants to ensure everyone's grandchildren can swim, drink, and fish in healthy rivers. This year, Canadian Journalist and author Roy MacGregor was honored as the Honorary Riverkeeper for his profound love of Canada's waterways. All guests came together to celebrate the river, the community, and the shared commitment to protecting this cherished resource.

Savannah Riverkeeper (Georgia, U.S.) and its partners have begun installing eight litter booms in local waterways to help reduce plastic pollution. In addition to these litter traps, live-feed cameras will monitor surge impacts to measure the amount of litter flowing through the water, which will help identify target hotspots. Tonya Bonitatibus, the Savannah Riverkeeper, states that this initiative will actively demonstrate to people what happens to their plastic items when they are not disposed of properly. It is estimated that these traps will collect 4,500 pounds of trash that flow into the city’s waterways each year. The collected trash, containing materials such as styrofoam, plastic, and metal, will be analyzed to develop sustainable solutions that aim to reduce environmental damage significantly. The first litter boom was installed in the Placenta Canal in Thunderbolt.

Waterkeepers Bangladesh (Bangladesh) organized a debate competition with the theme "Fossil Fuels Are Not the Solution; Only Renewable Energy Can Combat Climate Change" at various colleges across the country. Students from different grades participated, forming proposition and opposition teams, with the opposition team winning each debate. Participants were awarded tokens of appreciation, ranging from books on climate and environmental issues to saplings of the Bakul tree. The purpose of these events was to emphasize the urgent need to address climate change, the importance of transitioning to renewable energy, and the necessity of raising environmental awareness among youth. In addition, Waterkeepers Bangladesh organized a special award ceremony to honor Lion Md. Nasir Uddin Ahmed, a resident of Gyanpara village in Charduani Union, Patharghata Upazila, Burguna, for his incredible efforts in environmental protection. He was awarded the Shobuj Sathi Award in recognition of his outstanding environmental conservation and long-standing dedication to social work.
