保护行动动态
阿尔塔马哈海岸护水者（美国佐治亚州）赞扬佐治亚-阿拉巴马土地信托基金、保护基金会和美国农业部自然资源保护局（NRCS）在阿尔塔马哈河上保护了另外2,335英亩土地的工作。这片新受保护的区域使得阿尔塔马哈保护廊道内的受保护土地总面积超过180,000英亩——保护阿尔塔马哈河免受开发影响，保持其原始状态。
再次祝贺黑武士河护水者执行主任查尔斯·斯克里布纳（Charles Scribner），感谢他为保护黑武士河流域所做的20年贡献。这个特别的里程碑最近在Bham Now的这篇报道中被重点介绍。自2005年加入担任发展部主任并于2010年接任执行主任以来，查尔斯一直是该地区清洁水源和保护的稳定力量，帮助塑造了从河流清理到社区倡导等各项本地环保工作。
冈波德河护水者（美国马里兰州）公布了他们对冈波德河进行检测的惊人结果。在暴雨后48小时内采集的样本显示，大肠杆菌（E. coli）水平是美国环保署（EPA）设定的游泳安全可接受阈值的十倍。冈波德河为巴尔的摩地区180万人提供饮用水，并提供宝贵的栖息地以及划船、钓鱼和游泳等活动的空间。然而，这条河流面临着众多风险，包括开发带来的沉积物、杀虫剂、轮胎粉尘、气温升高、大肠杆菌等等。冈波德河护水者已成功关闭了位于该河下游潮汐河段岸边的一座燃煤电厂，对一项对该河构成重大风险的住宅开发项目提起了诉讼，并倡导马里兰州环境部实施更严格的雨水控制措施。他们每周四都会发布检测样本的结果。
莫比尔湾护水者（美国阿拉巴马州）收到了雅马哈发动机公司（Yamaha Motor Corporation）捐赠的一台30马力舵柄操舵船外机和两台150马力船外机。这笔捐赠旨在通过海洋研究和栖息地恢复来改善莫比尔湾的水质并减少污染。作为其“雅马哈纯净水域”（Yamaha Rightwaters）国家可持续发展计划的一部分，雅马哈致力于保护和恢复阿拉巴马州沿海流域。有了新设备，莫比尔湾护水者可以调查狭窄水道中的污染、将这些船只用于研究目的、运输牡蛎、进行恢复工作、抵达开阔水域的排污口，并带领有影响力的领导人进行考察。
阳光海岸护水者（美国佛罗里达州）的红树林巡护员项目于7月26日世界红树林日公布了关于树冠减少的调查结果。这个志愿者项目使用无人机测绘马纳蒂县（Manatee County）脆弱的红树林，每年评估其健康状况，并倡导加强对这些重要海岸资源的保护。
双港护水者（美国华盛顿州）参加了华盛顿海岸独立日后的海滩清理活动。仅格雷斯港县（Grays Harbor County）的海滩就收集了约42.5吨的烟花残骸；然而，一周后，大部分残骸仍残留在海滩上。烟花对人类健康有负面影响，并对海鸟和滨鸟产生重大影响。在极端情况下，这些影响可能导致鸟类因饥饿而死亡，因为它们无法消化塑料。即使海滩在初次清理后看起来干净了，残骸也可能被冲入大海，加剧海洋中现有的海洋垃圾问题。烟花带来多种危害，包括噪音、强光、微塑料和金属。

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.
