保護行動動態

阿爾塔馬哈海岸護水者（美國佐治亞州）贊揚佐治亞-阿拉巴馬土地信托基金、保護基金會和美國農業部自然資源保護局（NRCS）在阿爾塔馬哈河上保護了另外2,335英畝土地的工作。這片新受保護的區域使得阿爾塔馬哈保護廊道內的受保護土地總面積超過180,000英畝——保護阿爾塔馬哈河免受開發影響，保持其原始狀態。

再次祝賀黑武士河護水者執行主任查爾斯·斯克里布納（Charles Scribner），感謝他為保護黑武士河流域所做的20年貢獻。這個特別的里程碑最近在Bham Now的這篇報道中被重點介紹。自2005年加入擔任發展部主任并于2010年接任執行主任以來，查爾斯一直是該地區清潔水源和保護的穩定力量，幫助塑造了從河流清理到社區倡導等各項本地環保工作。

岡波德河護水者（美國馬里蘭州）公布了他們對岡波德河進行檢測的驚人結果。在暴雨后48小時內采集的樣本顯示，大腸桿菌（E. coli）水平是美國環保署（EPA）設定的游泳安全可接受閾值的十倍。岡波德河為巴爾的摩地區180萬人提供飲用水，并提供寶貴的棲息地以及劃船、釣魚和游泳等活動的空間。然而，這條河流面臨著眾多風險，包括開發帶來的沉積物、殺蟲劑、輪胎粉塵、氣溫升高、大腸桿菌等等。岡波德河護水者已成功關閉了位于該河下游潮汐河段岸邊的一座燃煤電廠，對一項對該河構成重大風險的住宅開發項目提起了訴訟，并倡導馬里蘭州環境部實施更嚴格的雨水控制措施。他們每周四都會發布檢測樣本的結果。

莫比爾灣護水者（美國阿拉巴馬州）收到了雅馬哈發動機公司（Yamaha Motor Corporation）捐贈的一臺30馬力舵柄操舵船外機和兩臺150馬力船外機。這筆捐贈旨在通過海洋研究和棲息地恢復來改善莫比爾灣的水質并減少污染。作為其“雅馬哈純凈水域”（Yamaha Rightwaters）國家可持續發展計劃的一部分，雅馬哈致力于保護和恢復阿拉巴馬州沿海流域。有了新設備，莫比爾灣護水者可以調查狹窄水道中的污染、將這些船只用于研究目的、運輸牡蠣、進行恢復工作、抵達開闊水域的排污口，并帶領有影響力的領導人進行考察。

陽光海岸護水者（美國佛羅里達州）的紅樹林巡護員項目于7月26日世界紅樹林日公布了關于樹冠減少的調查結果。這個志愿者項目使用無人機測繪馬納蒂縣（Manatee County）脆弱的紅樹林，每年評估其健康狀況，并倡導加強對這些重要海岸資源的保護。

雙港護水者（美國華盛頓州）參加了華盛頓海岸獨立日后的海灘清理活動。僅格雷斯港縣（Grays Harbor County）的海灘就收集了約42.5噸的煙花殘骸；然而，一周后，大部分殘骸仍殘留在海灘上。煙花對人類健康有負面影響，并對海鳥和濱鳥產生重大影響。在極端情況下，這些影響可能導致鳥類因饑餓而死亡，因為它們無法消化塑料。即使海灘在初次清理后看起來干凈了，殘骸也可能被沖入大海，加劇海洋中現有的海洋垃圾問題。煙花帶來多種危害，包括噪音、強光、微塑料和金屬。

NEWS FROM THE MOVEMENT

Altamaha Coastkeeper (Georgia, U.S.) applauds the work of Georgia-Alabama Land Trust, The Conservation Fund, and NRCS to protect another 2,335 acres of land on the Altamaha River. This newly protected area contributes to over 180,000 acres of conserved lands in the Altamaha conservation corridor – protecting the Altamaha River from development impacts and keeping the Altamaha wild.

Congrats again to Charles Scribner, Executive Director, Black Warrior Riverkeeper, for his 20 years of protecting the Black Warrior River watershed. This special milestone was recently featured in this article from Bham Now. Since joining as Director of Development in 2005 and stepping into the Executive Director role in 2010, Charles has been a steady force for clean water and conservation across the region, helping shape local environmental efforts, from river cleanups to community advocacy.

Gunpowder Riverkeeper (Maryland, U.S.) revealed alarming results from their testing of the Gunpowder River. Samples collected within 48 hours of heavy rain showed E. coli levels that were ten times higher than the U.S. EPA’s acceptable threshold for swimming. The Gunpowder River supplies drinking water to 1.8 million people in the Baltimore region and provides valuable habitats as well as spaces for activities like boating, fishing, and swimming. However, this river faces numerous risks, including sediment from development, pesticides, tire dust, warming temperatures, E. coli, and more. Gunpowder Riverkeeper has successfully shut down a coal plant located on the banks of the lower tidal river, filed lawsuits against a housing development posing a significant risk to the river, and advocated for stricter stormwater controls with the Maryland Department of the Environment. They post the results of the test samples every Thursday.

Mobile Baykeeper (Alabama, U.S.) received a 30-horsepower tiller outboard and two 150-horsepower outboards from Yamaha Motor Corporation. This donation aims to improve water quality and reduce pollution in Mobile Bay through marine research and habitat restoration. As part of its Yamaha Rightwaters national sustainability program, Yamaha is committed to protecting and restoring the Coastal Alabama Watershed. With the new equipment, Mobile Baykeeper can investigate pollution in narrow waterways, use the vessels for research purposes, transport oysters, conduct restoration work, reach open water outfalls, and take influential leaders on tours.

Suncoast Waterkeeper’s (Florida, U.S.) Mangrove Ranger program recently revealed its findings on canopy loss on World Mangrove Day, July 26. This volunteer program uses drones to map vulnerable mangrove forests in Manatee County, assess their health each year, and advocate for improved protection of these vital coastal resources.

Twin Harbor Waterkeepers (Washington, U.S.) participated in post-Independence Day beach cleanups along the Washington Coast. Approximately 42.5 tons of fireworks debris were collected from Grays Harbor County beaches alone; however, a week later, much of it had remained on the beaches. Fireworks are linked to negative effects on human health and have significant impacts on seabirds and shorebirds. In extreme cases, these impacts can lead to death by starvation, as these birds cannot digest plastic. Even though the beaches may appear clean after the initial cleanups, debris can be washed out to sea, adding to the existing marine debris in the ocean. Fireworks pose numerous hazards, including noise, bright lights, microplastics, and metals.
