保护行动动态
阿查法拉亚盆地护水者(美国路易斯安那州)与路易斯安那小龙虾生产者协会(西区)联合对阿查法拉亚盆地项目提起诉讼,指控该项目多年来蓄意管理不善,导致盆地防洪能力受损,并违反了路易斯安那州宪法规定的“为民众健康与福祉,保护本州自然资源”的法定义务。诉讼明确要求阻止该项目旗下的东格兰德湖工程推进,并请求法院强制要求与海岸保护与修复局《阿查法拉亚总体规划》相关的特定会议向公众开放。
海湾城市护水者(美国得克萨斯州)呼吁地方及州政府领导人在联邦政策放宽的背景下,将水资源保护列为优先事项。自“萨基特诉美国环保署(EPA)”案裁决后,美国陆军工兵团与EPA已削弱对湿地的保护力度,使脆弱社区面临更大风险。得克萨斯州的法律保护水平在全美排名靠后,海湾城市护水者高级法律总监兼护水者克里斯汀·施莱默强调,州政府与地方需加强协作,以应对这一紧迫问题。
布兰塔斯河护水者(印度尼西亚)将举办线上研讨会,聚焦女性垃圾处理工面临的不成比例的健康风险——她们长期暴露于塑料中的内分泌干扰物(EDCs)及其他有毒物质,这些物质可能影响激素平衡、生殖健康及长期福祉。本次研讨会主题为“隐形暴露:内分泌干扰物与有毒化学物质如何影响女性垃圾处理工”,将于明日(11月25日)13:00–14:30(格林威治标准时间+7)举行。布兰塔斯河护水者达鲁·塞蒂约里尼博士将与来自印度尼西亚、韩国及泰国的专家共同探讨女性垃圾处理工面临的健康风险,分享最新研究成果,剖析职业健康保护领域的挑战,并凸显公民社会在倡导行动中的作用。其他发言嘉宾包括:韩国工作环境健康研究所(WIOEH)的金元博士、艾尔朗加大学的莱斯塔里·苏达扬蒂博士以及泰国地球协会的提迪空·布通迈。目前仍可报名参与!
哥伦比亚河护水者(美国俄勒冈州)在哥伦比亚河流域的三文鱼保护与水质改善方面取得法律胜利,成功起诉昆西市。该和解协议终结了这起基于《清洁水法》的联邦诉讼,确保工业废水处理设施严格遵守许可要求。根据协议,昆西市将向雅卡马部落联盟支付40万美元,用于支持环境项目,这笔资金将专项用于改善亚基马河流域的水质与水生栖息地。
大特拉弗斯湾护水者(美国密歇根州)也赢得重大法律胜利,成功制止伯内特食品公司水果加工厂的持续污染行为。11月12日,贝克林法官针对《清洁水法》与《密歇根州环境保护法》下的所有诉讼请求作出简易判决,这一裁决具有先例意义。作为“萨基特诉EPA”案重新定义“美国水域(WOTUS)”概念后的首批相关裁决之一,该判决确认地下水、湿地、小溪与湖泊彼此相连,保护其中任一环节都意味着保护整个生态系统。这一胜利的取得,离不开大特拉弗斯湾护水者、联合原告组织及支持该行动的当地社区多年来的精心数据收集、证据记录与不懈坚持。
奥兰治县海岸护水者(美国加利福尼亚州)强烈谴责美国内政部最新发布的《五年近海钻井计划》。该计划提议自1984年以来首次在西海岸开展油气租赁销售,其中包括2027年至2030年间在加利福尼亚州附近海域进行的6次租赁。奥兰治县海岸护水者创始人兼总裁加里·布朗表示:“新的钻井活动将导致更多毁灭性的石油泄漏事件”,并以雷富希奥漏油事件和亨廷顿海滩漏油事件等灾难为例发出警示。他指出,该提议与环境现实及两党民众的广泛反对相悖。各界领袖批评该计划忽视了老化的基础设施、霍利钻井平台惨败等遗留问题,且未能满足沿海社区对透明度的诉求,也未为保护沿海生态系统、社区福祉及经济发展提供更强有力的保障。
帕苏尔河护水者与孟加拉国护水者联盟(孟加拉国)联合举办“气候行动日”纪念活动。参与者聚集在蒙拉市卡奈亚加尔的帕苏尔河畔,组成人链并举行静坐抗议。他们展示了一系列标语,提出与气候相关的诉求,并敦促全球领导人立即采取行动保护沿海居民,为受气候变化影响的社区争取公正。
波托马克河护水者联盟总裁贝齐·尼古拉斯(美国哥伦比亚特区、马里兰州、弗吉尼亚州)近期在《里士满时报快讯》发表专栏文章,呼吁弗吉尼亚州领导人在农田使用含全氟和多氟烷基物质(PFAS)的生物固体问题上,优先保障透明度与问责制。她强调,迫切需要出台“农民知情权”政策,强制要求对相关生物固体进行检测、公开信息并接受公众监督,确保农民及周边居民在不可逆的损害发生前,充分了解其对水资源、土壤及公众健康的潜在影响。

NEWS FROM THE MOVEMENT
Atchafalaya Basinkeeper (Louisiana, U.S.) and Louisiana Crawfish Producers Association – West filed a lawsuit against the Atchafalaya Basin Program, alleging years of willful mismanagement of the Basin’s flood capacity and violations of the Louisiana’s constitutional obligation to protect the natural resources of the state for the health and welfare of the people. The lawsuit specifically seeks to prevent the Program’s East Grand Lake project from moving forward, as well as requesting the court to require certain meetings related to the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority’s Atchafalaya Master Plan be opened to the public.
Bayou City Waterkeeper (Texas, U.S.) has called on local and state leaders to prioritize water protection amidst federal rollbacks. Following the Sackett v. EPA ruling, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. EPA have reduced protections for wetlands, putting vulnerable communities at greater risk. Texas ranks low in legal protections, and Kristen Schlemmer, Senior Legal Director and Waterkeeper of Bayou City Waterkeeper, emphasizes the need for state and local collaboration to address this urgent issue.
Brantas River Waterkeeper (Indonesia) is hosting a virtual webinar highlighting how women waste workers are disproportionately exposed to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and other toxic substances from plastics, which can affect hormonal balance, reproductive health, and long-term wellbeing. Invisible Exposures: How EDCs and Toxic Chemicals Impact Women Waste Workers will take place tomorrow, 25 November from 13:00–14:30 (GMT+7). Brantas River Waterkeeper Dr. Daru Setyorini will join other experts from Indonesia, South Korea, and Thailand to discuss the health risks faced by women waste workers, share latest research findings, explore challenges in occupational health protection, and highlight the role of civil society in advocacy. Other speakers include: Won Kim, PhD (WIOEH); Dr. Lestari Sudaryanti (Airlangga University), and Thitikorn Boontongmai (EARTH Thailand). There’s still time to register!
Columbia Riverkeeper (Oregon, U.S.) secured a legal victory against the City of Quincy for salmon and water quality in the Columbia River Basin. The settlement resolves a federal Clean Water Act lawsuit, ensuring that industrial wastewater treatment facilities comply with their permits. As part of the agreement, the city will make a $400,000 payment for a Supplemental Environmental Project to the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation. This funding will support projects that improve water quality and aquatic habitat in the Yakima River Basin.
Grand Traverse Bay Waterkeeper (Michigan, U.S.) also secured a major legal victory against ongoing pollution from Burnette Foods' fruit processing facility. On November 12, Judge Beckering granted their motion for summary judgment on all claims under the Clean Water Act and the Michigan Environmental Protection Act, marking a precedent-setting decision. This ruling, one of the first since Sackett v. EPA redefined WOTUS, confirms that groundwater, wetlands, creeks, and lakes are all interconnected, and protecting one means protecting them all. This victory comes after years of diligent data collection, documentation, and persistence by Grand Traverse Bay Waterkeeper, the partner plaintiff organizations, and the supportive local community.
Orange County Coastkeeper (California, U.S.) sharply condemned the U.S. Department of the Interior’s new Five-Year Offshore Drilling Plan, which proposes the first oil and gas lease sales off the West Coast since 1984, including six off California between 2027 and 2030. “New drilling means more devastating oil spills,” said Garry Brown, Founder and President of Orange County Coastkeeper, citing disasters like the Refugio spill and the Huntington Beach spill as warnings. He noted that the proposal runs counter to environmental reality and broad bipartisan public opposition. Leaders argue that the plan ignores aging infrastructure, ongoing liabilities such as the Platform Holly fiasco, and the need for transparency and stronger protections for coastal communities, ecosystems, and economies.
Pashur River Waterkeeper, along with Waterkeepers Bangladesh (Bangladesh), organized an event to commemorate Climate Action Day. Participants gathered on the banks of the Pashur River at Kanaiagar in Mongla, forming a human chain and holding a sit-in. They displayed banners highlighting climate-related demands and urging global leaders to take immediate action to protect coastal populations and ensure justice for communities affected by climate change.
Potomac Riverkeeper Network President Betsy Nicholas (District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, U.S.) recently published an op-ed in The Richmond Times-Dispatch calling on Virginia state leaders to prioritize transparency and accountability in the use of PFAS-contaminated biosolids on farmland. She highlights the urgent need for Farmers’ Right to Know policies that mandate testing, disclosure, and public accountability, ensuring farmers and neighbors are informed about impacts to water, soil, and public health before irreversible harm occurs.
