保護(hù)行動(dòng)動(dòng)態(tài)
阿巴拉契科拉河護(hù)水者（美國佛羅里達(dá)州）迎來了一場重大勝利，塔拉哈西的一位行政法官建議佛羅里達(dá)州環(huán)境保護(hù)部（DEP）駁回在佛羅里達(dá)州西北部阿巴拉契科拉河流域進(jìn)行油氣鉆探的許可申請。2024 年 4 月，阿巴拉契科拉河護(hù)水者對佛羅里達(dá)州環(huán)境保護(hù)部頒發(fā)的一項(xiàng)擬議許可提出了質(zhì)疑，該許可允許克利爾沃特土地與礦產(chǎn)有限責(zé)任公司鉆一口定向探井。一旦發(fā)生石油泄漏，可能會造成災(zāi)難性后果，尤其是考慮到該區(qū)域靠近溪流、濕地和其他水體。與此同時(shí)，佛羅里達(dá)州立法機(jī)構(gòu)正在推進(jìn)一項(xiàng)提案（HB 1143），以禁止在阿巴拉契科拉河附近進(jìn)行石油勘探和鉆探。推動(dòng)該法案的部分原因是英國石油公司 “深海地平線” 號石油泄漏事件的后續(xù)影響，那次事件導(dǎo)致佛羅里達(dá)州狹長地帶數(shù)英里的海灘被石油污染。
黑勇士河護(hù)水者、卡哈巴河護(hù)水者、喬克托哈奇河護(hù)水者、庫薩河護(hù)水者以及莫比爾灣護(hù)水者（美國阿拉巴馬州）已向阿拉巴馬州環(huán)境管理委員會提交了一份制定規(guī)則的請?jiān)笗?。這份請?jiān)笗卮僭撝莞虏⒐紝κN優(yōu)先有毒污染物經(jīng)修訂的毒性值。阿拉巴馬州尚未按照《清潔水法》的要求審查或采用對這些污染物經(jīng)修訂的毒性值，而這對于保護(hù)該州用水者和魚類消費(fèi)者的健康至關(guān)重要。這份制定規(guī)則的請?jiān)笗玫搅舜罅恐С謹(jǐn)M議修正案的證據(jù)和信息的支撐。
哈得孫河護(hù)水者（美國紐約州）通過其近期成功的《清潔水法》訴訟案，為哈得孫河谷基礎(chǔ)組織爭取到了 23.5 萬美元的資金。這筆資金將用于該組織的 “環(huán)境效益項(xiàng)目”，該項(xiàng)目旨在當(dāng)?shù)貙W(xué)校種植近 400 棵、50 個(gè)不同品種的樹木。這一舉措旨在截留暴雨徑流，提供降溫效益，并改善該地區(qū)的水質(zhì)。此外，這筆資金還將支持哈得孫河谷基礎(chǔ)組織積極開展的洪泛區(qū)修復(fù)工作。該組織還將定期進(jìn)行清理工作，并為基于自然的項(xiàng)目制定設(shè)計(jì)方案，以改善當(dāng)?shù)氐臈⒌亍?/p>
倫敦護(hù)水者（英國）已與沃特斯卡恩公司合作，加大其保護(hù)倫敦河流的力度。作為沃特斯卡恩公司的年度慈善合作伙伴，倫敦護(hù)水者將在開發(fā)新工具以簡化數(shù)據(jù)存儲和分析方面獲得支持，這將使該組織能夠從復(fù)雜的城市水質(zhì)數(shù)據(jù)中獲得更清晰的洞察。此外，沃特斯卡恩公司還將協(xié)助開展基于技能的志愿服務(wù)活動(dòng)，包括對全氟和多氟烷基物質(zhì)（PFAS）等新出現(xiàn)問題的研究。

孟加拉國護(hù)水者最近參加了在菲律賓舉行的一次討論，以幫助建立 “全球自然權(quán)利聯(lián)盟” 的區(qū)域中心。這些區(qū)域中心旨在將倡導(dǎo)自然權(quán)利的工作分散化，促進(jìn)國際合作與知識共享。此外，孟加拉國護(hù)水者還參加了一場關(guān)于為打造無污染城市發(fā)展可再生能源的政策對話，強(qiáng)調(diào)了制定可再生能源總體規(guī)劃和投資策略的必要性，這也是年輕的氣候領(lǐng)袖們在地球日 “為地球而行走” 活動(dòng)期間所討論的內(nèi)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.
