NEWS FROM THE MOVEMENT
Apalachicola Riverkeeper (Florida, U.S.) challenged a draft permit for Clearwater Land & Minerals Florida that would have allowed the company to drill an exploratory well in an unincorporated area of Calhoun County. The proposed site was located within the 100-year floodplain of the Apalachicola River, which meant that a spill in this area could have catastrophic consequences for nearby streams, wetlands, and ponds. Experts estimated a 30% likelihood of striking oil, suggesting that the potential risks outweighed the project's rewards. In response, lawmakers passed a measure (HB 1143) that is supposed to effectively prevent drilling within 10 miles of the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve. Although the department pointed out safeguards at the site designed to avoid pollution, the rule requires the applicant to "make every effort to minimize related impacts." Clearwater Land & Minerals had their old drilling permit application denied, marking a victory for the Apalachicola Riverkeeper. Currently, the "Kill the Drill" bill awaits a signature or veto from Governor Ron DeSantis, aiming to stop oil and gas drilling near Apalachicola Bay and upstream.
Columbia Riverkeeper (Oregon, U.S.) has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in response to the "Cleanup to Clean Energy Initiative" at the Hanford Nuclear site. The lawsuit accuses the DOE of failing to comply with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). This initiative proposes leasing 19,000 acres at Hanford for clean energy development, potentially including new nuclear energy infrastructure. Columbia Riverkeeper submitted a FOIA request in June 2024, seeking transparency regarding the initiative. However, the DOE violated FOIA's 20-day response requirement by neither providing the requested documents nor establishing a timeline for compliance. Simone Inter, the senior attorney and Hanford program director for Columbia Riverkeeper expressed concern about the Trump administration's cuts to Hanford cleanup funding. The case has been filed in the U.S. District Court of Oregon, which gives the DOE 30 days to respond.
Waterkeepers Iraq (Iraq) recently released a 14-month documentary produced in collaboration with Norwegian People's Aid (NPA) and funded by the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA). Part of this project involved organizing five cleanups near water sources throughout Kurdistan. Nabil Musa, President of Waterkeepers Iraq, emphasized that these initiatives have brought the organization closer to achieving sustainability and continuity. Currently, Kurdistan is experiencing a crisis, with water levels in the Lesser Zab River at their lowest in over 60 years. This project has played a role in fostering the determination to tackle these challenges and find effective solutions. Congratulations, and thank you for supporting the fight for waterway conservation and environmental advocacy!
San Antonio Bay Estuarine Waterkeeper Diane Wilson (Texas, U.S.) achieved a major victory when the Formosa Four successfully argued that their environmental and human rights concerns justified their act of trespassing. The Formosa Four, which includes Wilson, Robin Schneider, Paula Rogovin, and Matthew Kennedy, blocked entrances to protest Formosa Plastics, a company with a troubling history of pollution. They cited more than 700 violations of a Clean Water Act settlement, which mandates zero discharge of plastic from Formosa's Texas plant into Lavaca Bay. Formosa Plastics has a history of pollution violations that extends not only to the United States but also globally. Notably, in Vietnam, the company was responsible for a chemical spill that is regarded as the worst environmental disaster in the country's history, damaging fishing grounds and livelihoods. In August 2024, over 70 protesters gathered in front of Formosa's U.S. headquarters. Six individuals were taken into custody, and four were able to justify their reasons for trespassing. Diane Wilson stated that while this may be a victory, she will not rest until she has fully protected her community from the damage Formosa Plastics has done to Texas's environment and fishing communities. Other members of the Formosa Four echoed her sentiments, declaring that they will continue to fight until the company is held accountable.
Waterkeepers Alabama (Alabama, U.S.) was granted a Petition for Rulemaking by the Alabama Environmental Management Commission (AEMC) after urging the state to update and publish amended toxicity values for twelve priority toxic pollutants. The Petition was filed in April and presented with a substantial amount of credible evidence. Several organizations, including Alabama River Alliance, Black Warrior Riverkeeper, Cahaba Riverkeeper,Choctawhatchee Riverkeeper, Environmental Defense Alliance, and Mobile Baykeeper, stated that Alabama's current toxicity values are insufficient to protect human health from consuming contaminated fish. These groups expressed frustration with AEMC's inaction and the impacts that outdated toxicity levels have on those who rely on the river. Alabama has not updated toxicity values despite congressional requirements for every state to review and update water quality criteria for toxic pollutants at least every three years. Waterkeepers Alabama is pleased that AEMC has finally agreed to update these values to protect the communities that depend on the river.
Waterkeepers Bangladesh (Bangladesh) organized a protest urging Japan to stop investing in coal and LNG projects and to transition to renewable energy in Bangladesh. Speakers condemned Japanese agencies, including METI, JBIC, and JICA, for their investments in fossil fuels, which have been considered harmful. These projects are wreaking havoc on both the environment and the lives of people in Bangladesh, hindering the country’s potential for renewable energy security. The speakers encouraged the people of Bangladesh to develop their projects instead of relying on foreign companies. In another matter, Waterkeepers Bangladesh and the Khowai River Waterkeeper held a delegation meeting to discuss the crisis caused by unplanned sand mining along the Khowai River. This destructive practice has altered the river’s course and damaged its banks. Tofazzal Sohel, Khowai River Waterkeeper, stated that the extraction of sand and soil using machinery has led to flooding, causing extensive damage to human lives, crops, and property. The crisis worsens due to sand mining, lacking a permanent alternative or scientific solution.
