保护行动动态

黑勇士河护水者（美国阿拉巴马州）和飓风溪护水者（美国阿拉巴马州）正敦促采取行动，解决塔斯卡卢萨市持续发生的污水泄漏问题。这些污水泄漏已污染了庭院、道路、溪流以及黑勇士河。该市日益老化的下水道系统导致未经处理的污水频繁溢出，引发了公众对健康和环境的担忧。倡导者呼吁官员们整治老化的基础设施，防止进一步的污染。目前，一份请愿书正在传阅，要求为塔斯卡卢萨市的居民提供更有力的保护，并确保家庭、社区和水道的用水清洁。

卡卢萨护水者（美国佛罗里达州）名誉成员约翰・卡萨尼对该州 360 万英亩受污染且未达水质标准的河口水域表示担忧。针对这一日益严重的危机，倡导者们正在推动一项 “享有清洁健康用水的权利” 的宪法修正案，要求佛罗里达州环境保护部采取更果断的行动来修复受污染的水道。支持者们强调，必须让领导人对保护佛罗里达州的水资源和社区负责。他们鼓励已登记的佛罗里达州选民在请愿书上签名，以推进这一倡议。

尼科亚半岛护水者（哥斯达黎加）正通过与全球水管理协会合作，“将他们对社区的贡献提升到一个新的水平”，以推动整个地区的可持续水管理和卫生解决方案。通过这次合作，两个组织都致力于提高水质、赋予当地社区权力，并为人类和环境创造更健康的未来。由于有着保护水资源的共同使命，这次合作是确保哥斯达黎加子孙后代能拥有更清洁水源的关键一步。

圣地亚哥海岸护水者（美国加利福尼亚州）对蒂华纳海滩持续存在的污染问题表示担忧。在那里，污水和工业废料继续威胁着公众健康、海滩以及当地的湿地。加工制造业工厂（墨西哥边境的组装加工厂）和老化的污水基础设施是污染的主要源头，由于污染严重，海滩和湿地经常被迫关闭。据估计，每天约有 1000 万加仑的污水流入蒂华纳河。2024 年初，阿吉雷市长寻求 3.1 亿美元的联邦资金来修复蒂华纳河沿岸的一家美国污水处理厂，但国会只批准了 1.56 亿美元，使得关键的修复工作资金不足。虽然这笔资金能带来一些进展，但随着污染持续存在，该地区仍面临着环境和公共卫生危机，社区也对其长期影响感到担忧。圣地亚哥海岸护水者一直与蒂华纳护水者的双边联盟密切合作，从美墨边境的两侧共同努力解决蒂华纳河的污水危机。

“拯救帕鲁德河” 组织（美国科罗拉多州帕鲁德河护水者的上级组织）已与北方综合供水项目（NISP）企业达成协议，为 “帕鲁德河改善基金” 争取到了 1 亿美元。作为交换，“拯救帕鲁德河” 组织将结束其对北方综合供水项目长达 20 年的反对，并撤回对美国陆军工程兵团的诉讼。北方综合供水项目是一个耗资 22.5 亿美元的离渠水库项目，旨在为韦尔德县、拉里默县和博尔德县不断发展的社区供水。该协议结束了围绕该项目数十年的冲突，同时确保了从盖特韦公园到帕鲁德河与南普拉特河交汇处约 50 英里河道的大量保护资金投入。这 1 亿美元的基金是美国历史上最大的河流保护和解金之一，将用于支持生态、栖息地和休闲设施的改善，包括可能建设一条供人们乘坐充气筏、钓鱼和划船的 “帕鲁德河水道”。该基金独立于北方综合供水项目 2017 年的缓解和改善计划，将由一个六人委员会管理（“拯救帕鲁德河” 组织和北方综合供水项目企业各任命三名成员）。预计下周将支付首笔 500 万美元，其余款项将在 15 年内付清。帕鲁德河护水者主任加里・沃克纳强调，考虑到北方综合供水项目的具体情况和联邦诉讼，这项协议对帕鲁德河来说是最好的结果。他鼓励更多的利益相关者和慈善家利用这笔资金，进一步改善河流状况。

坦帕湾护水者（美国佛罗里达州）执行董事贾斯汀・特兰布尔与其他倡导者一起，呼吁采取紧急行动，解决影响佛罗里达州水道和社区的 7000 万加仑污染问题。最近的立法允许佛罗里达州环境保护部优先开展污水减排工作，以遏制有害排放。参议员洛里・伯曼和众议员林赛・克罗斯提出了《先进污水处理法案》，旨在使佛罗里达州过时的污水处理基础设施现代化，并减少污水污染。由于未经处理的污水继续威胁着河流和海湾，佛罗里达州的居民们正在推动更强有力的保护措施。如果罗恩・德桑蒂斯州长签署该法案，这项法律将于 7 月生效。

巴哈马护水者（巴哈马）最近为其首批学员提供了宝贵的水质检测实践经验。这些对环境管理表现出浓厚兴趣的学员们参与了实地的实际水质评估。这一举措使年轻人能够积极参与到环境保护中，并培养关键技能，有助于实现为所有人提供清洁用水的目标。

倡导资源

为支持针对清洁水、环境保护及政策所受攻击的有效反对策略，护水者为护水者组织创建了一个工具和资源库。该资源库可在下方二维码访问，并将根据政策发展、重点、挑战和机遇定期更新。此内容最初聚焦于美国总统选举及其对环境问题的影响，因为它是应美国护水者的要求创建的。这并非意在排他，然而，我们必须考虑到特朗普政府的许多政策决定和行动可能会产生全球影响。例如，美国退出《巴黎协定》对您所在地区有何影响？您是否担心这会削弱全球应对气候变化的努力？您所在地区与政治和环境形势相关的其他具体挑战或机遇，我们是否应该知晓？为确保满足所有护水者的需求，并加强全球对清洁水受攻击问题的统一应对，我们鼓励您与护水者会员服务总监巴特・米哈伊洛维奇分享反馈，以便为您的倡导工作提供及时且有针对性的支持。

NEWS FROM THE MOVEMENT

Black Warrior RiverkeeperandHurricane Creekkeeper(Alabama, U.S.) are urging action to address Tuscaloosa’s ongoing sewage spills, which have contaminated yards, roads, creeks, and the Black Warrior River. The city’s deteriorating sewer system has led to frequent overflows of untreated sewage, creating public health and environmental concerns. Advocates are calling on officials to address the failing infrastructure and prevent further pollution. A petition is now circulating to demand stronger protections for Tuscaloosa residents and ensure clean water for homes, communities, and waterways.

Calusa Waterkeeper(Florida, U.S.)Emeritus John Cassaniraised concerns over the 3.6 million acres of estuary waters statewide that are impaired by pollution and failing to meet water quality standards. In response to this growing crisis, advocates are pushing for a “Right to Clean and Healthy Waters” constitutional amendment, requiring the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to take more decisive action to restore polluted waterways. Supporters emphasize the need to hold leaders accountable to protect Florida’s water and communities. Registered Florida voters are encouraged to sign the petition to advance this initiative.

Nicoya Peninsula Waterkeeper(Costa Rica) is “taking their contribution to the community to the next level” by partnering with Global Water Stewardship to advance sustainable water management and sanitation solutions across the region. Through this collaboration, both organizations are united in their commitment to enhancing water quality, empowering local communities, and fostering a healthier future for both people and the environment. With a shared mission of preserving water resources, this partnership is a crucial step in ensuring cleaner water for generations of Costa Ricans.

San Diego Coastkeeper(California, U.S.) is raising concerns over ongoing pollution at Tijuana’s beaches, where sewage and industrial waste continue to threaten public health, beaches, and local wetlands. Maquiladora (manufacturing factories) and failing sewage infrastructure are the primary sources of contamination, leading to frequent closures of beaches and wetlands due to excessive pollution. An estimated 10 million gallons of sewage flow into the Tijuana River daily. In early 2024, Mayor Aguirre sought $310 million in federal funding to repair a U.S. sewage treatment plant along the river, but Congress approved only $156 million—leaving critical repairs underfunded. While the funding allows for some progress, the region continues to face an environmental and public health crisis as pollution persists and communities worry about long-term impacts. San Diego Coastkeeper has been working very closely withTijuana Waterkeeper’s binational coalition to help address the Tijuana River sewage crisis from both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border.

Save The Poudre, parent group for Poudre Waterkeeper(Colorado, U.S.) has reached an agreement with the Northern Integrated Supply Project (NISP) Enterprise, securing $100 million for a “Poudre River Improvement Fund.” In exchange, Save The Poudre will end its 20-year opposition to NISP and withdraw its lawsuit against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. NISP is a $2.25 billion off-channel reservoir project designed to supply water to growing communities in Weld, Larimer, and Boulder counties. The agreement ends decades of conflict over the project, while ensuring significant conservation funding for the Poudre River from Gateway Park to its confluence with the South Platte River, covering approximately 50 river miles. The $100 million fund—one of the largest river conservation settlements in U.S. history—will support ecological, habitat, and recreational improvements, including a potential “Poudre River Water Trail” for tubing, fishing, and boating. The fund is separate from NISP’s 2017 Mitigation and Enhancement Plan and will be managed by a six-member committee (three appointees each from Save The Poudre and NISP Enterprise). The first $5 million payment is expected next week, with the remainder paid over 15 years. Gary Wockner, Director and Poudre Watekreeper, emphasized that the agreement represents the best possible outcome for the river, given the specifics of NISP and the federal lawsuit. He encouraged additional stakeholders and philanthropists to help leverage this funding for even greater river improvements.

Tampa Bay Waterkeeper(Florida, U.S.) Executive Director Justin Tramble has joined advocates in calling for urgent action to address the 70 million gallons of pollution impacting Florida’s waterways and communities. Recent legislation allows the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to prioritize sewage mitigation efforts to curb harmful discharges. Sen. Lori Berman and Rep. Lindsay Cross have introduced the Advanced Wastewater Treatment Bill to modernize Florida’s outdated wastewater infrastructure and reduce sewage pollution. With raw sewage continuing to threaten rivers and bays, Floridians are pushing for stronger protections. If signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, the law would take effect in July.

Waterkeepers Bahamas(Bahamas) recently offered their first class of cadets valuable hands-on experience in water testing. The cadets, showing a strong interest in environmental stewardship, took part in practical water quality assessments in the field. This initiative empowers young people to engage actively with their environment and develop essential skills, contributing to the goal of ensuring clean water for everyone.

ADVOCACY RESOURCES

To support an effective opposition strategy against attacks on clean water, environmental protections, and policies, Waterkeeper Alliance has created a repository of tools and resources for Waterkeeper groups. This repository, available here, will be regularly updated based on policy developments, priorities, challenges, and opportunities. This content initially focuses on the U.S. presidential election and its implications for environmental issues, as it was created in response to requests from U.S. Waterkeeper groups. It was not intended to be exclusionary; however, we must consider that many of the policy decisions and actions from the Trump administration are likely to have global ramifications. For example, how has the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement affected your region? Do you fear it will undermine global efforts to combat climate change? Are there other specific challenges or opportunities related to the political and environmental landscape in your region that we should be aware of? To ensure we are meeting the needs of all Waterkeeper groups and strengthening a united global response to clean water attacks, we encourage you to share feedback with Bart Mihailovich, Waterkeeper Membership Services Director, to inform timely and tailored support for your advocacy efforts.
