保护行动动态
美国路易斯安那州阿查法拉亚盆地护水者与路易斯安那州西部小龙虾生产商协会已对阿查法拉亚盆地项目提起诉讼。他们指控该项目多年来蓄意对盆地行洪能力进行不当管理,且未按路易斯安那州宪法要求保护对民众健康与福祉至关重要的州内自然资源。该诉讼旨在阻止东大湖项目推进。过去十年间,阿查法拉亚盆地项目方明知部分工程会造成湿地流失、行洪能力下降,仍实施了多个灾难性项目。此外,诉讼还对影响阿查法拉亚总体规划的闭门会议的合法性提出质疑,并对阿查法拉亚盆地项目的管理工作表达了担忧。
美国纽约州哈德逊河护水者已获得400万美元专项资金,计划于明年秋季拆除奥兰治县阔赛克溪上的霍尔登水坝。目前,该水坝阻碍了美洲鳗鲡的洄游通道,导致其种群数量处于历史低位。哈德逊河护水者正与纽约州环境保护局合作,排查哈德逊河支流上其他可拆除的水坝。该项目旨在打造健康畅通的溪流生态,为各类物种的生命周期洄游创造条件。哈德逊河护水者栖息地修复经理马修·贝斯特表示,水坝拆除工作十分复杂,既要拆除坝体结构,还需对溪岸进行加固处理。包括霍尔登水坝在内的诸多水坝均建于约80年前,最初用于磨坊作业,如今已彻底废弃。
美国马里兰州波托马克河护水者网络近期因在全氟和多氟烷基物质(PFAS)污染治理领域的引领作用登上《纽约时报》,其关注重点为马里兰州生物固体在弗吉尼亚州农田的施用问题。波托马克河护水者迪恩·诺约克指出:“(生物固体)在马里兰州的农田中都达不到安全标准,却被输送到了弗吉尼亚州”——该州目前尚无针对PFAS的专项立法。马里兰州将污水污泥作为廉价肥料外销,却未充分披露其潜在危害。这些生物固体施用于农田后,其中含有的PFAS会渗入土壤和地下水,最终汇入河流。
美国纽约州守护水域组织对布朗克斯区公共公园获批赌场牌照的决议表示失望。纽约州博彩设施选址委员会批准了巴利集团建设赌场酒店综合体的申请,却未充分评估项目的环境影响。守护水域组织认为,巴利集团提交的《环境影响报告书》既未妥善说明项目新增雨洪与污水的处理方案,也未考量该项目会给老旧基础设施带来的额外负担。守护水域组织水资源保护中心副总裁戴维·安塞尔称:“若不制定能最大化发挥绿色基础设施效益的综合性雨洪管理方案,新增的径流将进一步加剧纽约市水域的污染治理难度。”
孟加拉国护水者联盟与“我们守护环境”组织(DHORA)在孟加拉国9条河流上组织了水上船队行动,以纪念“全球反对天然气扩张行动日”。这9条河流分别为布里甘加河、帕舒尔河、布里希沃尔河、派拉河、比什卡利河、安达哈马尼河、科瓦伊河、库图布迪亚海道以及马格纳马-库图布迪亚水道。船队悬挂标语横幅,倡导可再生能源,呼吁气候正义、反对对化石燃料的依赖。这些行动旨在向政府施压,要求其停止天然气扩张计划,致力于实现快速、公正的能源转型。

NEWS FROM THE MOVEMENT
Atchafalaya Basinkeeper (Louisiana, U.S.) and the Louisiana Crawfish Producers Association-West have filed a lawsuit against the Atchafalaya Basin Program. They allege that the Program has engaged in years of willful mismanagement of the Basin's flood capacity and has failed to protect the state's natural resources, which are essential to the health and welfare of the people, as required by Louisiana's Constitution. The lawsuit seeks to prevent the East Grand Lake project from moving forward. For the past decade, the Atchafalaya Basin Program has launched several disastrous projects, despite knowing they would result in the loss of wetlands and flood capacity. The lawsuit also challenges the legality of closed-door meetings that impact the Atchafalaya Master Plan and raises concerns about the administration of the Atchafalaya Basin Program.
Hudson Riverkeeper (New York, U.S) has received a $4 million grant to deconstruct the Holden Dam on Quassaick Creek in Orange County next fall. Currently, the dam prevents American eels from traveling upstream, resulting in historically low populations. Hudson Riverkeeper, in partnership with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, is working to identify other dams on tributaries of the Hudson River for removal. This project aims to create healthy, free-flowing streams that allow various species to migrate as part of their lifecycles. Matthew Best, Hudson Riverkeeper’s habitat restoration manager, stated that the process of deconstructing a dam is complex, as it involves both the removal of the structure and the stabilization of the stream banks. Many dams, like the Holden Dam, were built around 80 years ago for milling purposes but are no longer in use today.
Potomac Riverkeeper Network (Maryland, U.S.) was recently featured in the New York Times for its leadership in the fight against PFAS, specifically regarding the use of Maryland biosolids on farmland in Virginia. Dean Naujoks, Potomac Riverkeeper, stated that “[biosolids] aren’t safe enough for farms in Maryland, so they’re coming to Virginia,” a state where PFAS legislation is lacking. Maryland exports sewage sludge as an inexpensive fertilizer without properly disclosing its associated hazards. When these biosolids are applied to farmland, the PFAS they contain can leach into the soil and groundwater, and ultimately into rivers.
Save the Sound (New York, U.S.) is disappointed by the decision to approve a casino license on public parkland in the Bronx. The New York State Gaming Facility Location Board approved Bally's application to develop a casino and hotel complex without adequately addressing its environmental impact. Save the Sound argues that Bally's Environmental Impact Statement does not adequately address the company's plans for managing the increased volumes of stormwater and wastewater the project will generate, nor does it consider the additional burden on the aging infrastructure. David Ansel, vice president of the Center for Water Protection at Save the Sound, stated, "Without a comprehensive plan for managing stormwater that maximizes green infrastructure benefits, the increased runoff will make it even more difficult to reduce pollution in New York City waters."
Waterkeepers Bangladesh (Bangladesh) and Dhoritri Rokhhay Amra (DHORA) organized flotillas on nine rivers in Bangladesh to mark the Global Day of Action Against Gas Expansion. The rivers are Buriganga, Pashur, Burishwar, Payra, Bishkhali, Andharmanik, Khowai, Kutubdia Sea Channel, and Magnama-Kutubdia Channel. In support of renewable energy, the boat carries banners and slogans demanding climate justice and rejecting fossil fuel dependence. These actions intensify pressure on the government to halt gas expansion and commit to a swift, just energy transition.
