保护行动动态

美国宾夕法尼亚州特拉华河护水者批评美国能源部允许星座能源公司（Constellation Energy）继续运营其埃德斯通（Eddystone）机组的决定。能源部在命令中称，电网运营商 PJM 互联公司担心潜在的电力短缺，以及人工智能和云计算平台发展导致的电力需求大幅增加。为应对用电量激增，PJM 获得联邦批准，可快速推进新发电厂的建设。清洁能源倡导者指责 PJM 制造了可靠性问题，因为该机构花了大量时间研究风能和太阳能项目。目前，提交给 PJM 的提案中，超过 97% 涉及风能或电池储能，而天然气项目占比不足 3%。中大陆独立系统运营商认为不存在能源紧急情况，并指出夏季将有足够能源满足该地区需求，这使得能源部的命令显得多余。

美国威斯康星州密尔沃基河护水者与加拿大渥太华河护水者在阿诺・科佩基（Arno Kopecky）为《环球邮报》撰写的评论文章中被提及，文章探讨了特朗普时代监管放松对北美水域的长期影响。密尔沃基河护水者谢丽尔・嫩（Cheryl Nenn）强调了美加两国共管五大湖的挑战，并警告称，美国这些政策可能逆转来之不易的环保成果，且影响将跨越国界。

美国马里兰州帕图克森特河护水者弗雷德・图特曼（Fred Tutman）在一场聚焦切萨皮克湾流域 “新兴污染物” 的研讨会上发言。该活动重点关注三大类新兴污染物：微塑料、全氟和多氟烷基物质（PFAS）以及 pharmaceuticals（可译为 “药物污染物”）。这些物质普遍存在于日常用品中，进一步研究有助于更好地理解其对人类健康的影响。会上许多专家分享了研究成果，揭示了这些污染物可能造成的严重危害。帕图克森特河护水者强调，解决这些问题需要环境专业人士和倡导者深入了解切萨皮克湾流域的当地文化与社会政治背景，这对应对挑战和利用相关社区最关注的资源至关重要。

美国佛罗里达州圣约翰河护水者发起了为期两个月的 “圣约翰河 25 家酒厂打卡挑战”（“25 Taps for the St. Johns” passport challenge）。该组织与 25 多家酒厂合作，参与者可免费注册数字打卡护照，在每家酒厂打卡后可参与抽奖。大奖得主将获得由当地专家带领的圣约翰河生态之旅或钓鱼包船体验，其他参与者还可根据打卡酒厂数量赢取贴纸、T 恤、杯套和玻璃杯等奖品。合作酒厂将从指定啤酒的销售额中捐赠一定比例，以支持该挑战项目。许多当地人对参与挑战充满热情，希望借此凝聚社区力量，支持本地组织。圣约翰河护水者将于 8 月 3 日活动结束后举办庆祝仪式。

祝贺美国阿拉巴马州与田纳西州的田纳西河护水者成功从坎伯兰河清理超过 860 磅垃圾！在西纳什维尔组织的清理活动中，志愿者收集并清除了 12 个轮胎、11 袋垃圾、1 袋可回收物，以及被倾倒进河中的建筑拆除废料等大型杂物。田纳西河护水者创始人戴维・怀特赛德（David Whiteside）表示：“解决塑料污染没有捷径。” 他强调，最有效的方法之一是从海岸线和浅水区清除垃圾。值得注意的是，此次从河中收集的垃圾中，泡沫塑料（Styrofoam）最为常见。通过组织清理活动，田纳西河护水者已阻止超过 4580 磅垃圾进入水道。

孟加拉国护水者与帕舒尔河护水者举办活动，授予 K.M. 拉巴尼（K.M. Rabbani）教授 “2025 年度绿色伙伴奖”（“Sabuj Sathi Sammanona 2025”），以表彰他在沿海生物多样性保护和环境保护方面的卓越贡献。活动中，K.M. 拉巴尼教授谈到，对树木的热爱是我们社会教养的一部分，这种情感从父母和祖父母那里传承而来。他还提醒大家，植树能为鸟类和其他野生动物提供食物和栖息地。孟加拉国护水者协调员谢里夫・贾米尔（Sharif Jamil）强调，在持续的环境危机中，表彰树立积极榜样的个人至关重要，因为这能激励他人加入环保事业。他还表示，拉姆帕尔燃煤电厂必须立即关闭，若不如此，就意味着政府缺乏保护生态环境的真正决心。

NEWS FROM THE MOVEMENT

Delaware Riverkeeper (Pennsylvania, U.S.) criticized the U.S. Department of Energy's decision to allow Constellation Energy to continue operating its Eddystone units. In its order, the department cited the grid operator's concern with PJM Interconnection about potential power shortfalls and the significant increase in electricity demand caused by the growth of artificial intelligence and cloud computing platforms. PJM received federal approval to fast-track the construction of new power plants in response to the spike in electricity usage. Clean energy advocates blame PJM for creating reliability issues as they took a substantial amount of time to study wind and solar energy projects. Currently, more than 97% of proposals submitted to PJM are for wind or battery storage, while less than 3% are natural gas. The Midcontinent Independent System Operator believes there is no energy emergency, indicating that there will be sufficient energy to meet the region's needs during the summer, making the order from the Department of Energy seem unnecessary.

Milwaukee Riverkeeper (Wisconsin, U.S.) and Ottawa Riverkeeper (Canada) are featured in this Globe and Mail opinion piece by Arno Kopecky on the lasting impact of Trump-era regulatory rollbacks on North American waters. Milwaukee Riverkeeper Cheryl Nenn highlights the challenges of binational Great Lakes management and warns that these U.S. policies risk reversing hard-won environmental progress, with impacts that reverberate across borders.

Patuxent Riverkeeper (Maryland, U.S.) Fred Tutman spoke at a symposium focused on “emerging contaminants” in the Bay watershed. This event highlighted three major categories of emerging contaminants: microplastics, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and pharmaceuticals. These substances are commonly found in everyday products, and further research helps to give a better understanding of the impacts they have on human health. Many panelists at the event shared their research findings, which revealed the severe effects these contaminants can have. Patuxent Riverkeeper emphasized that addressing these issues requires environmental professionals and advocates to have a deep understanding of the local cultural and sociopolitical landscape of the Bay watershed. This understanding is crucial for addressing the challenges and using the resources that matter most to the communities involved.

St. John's Riverkeeper (Florida, U.S.) has launched a two-month campaign called "25 Taps for the St. Johns" passport challenge. In partnership with more than 25 breweries, participants can sign up for a free digital passport, which will enter them into a raffle after they check in with each brewery. The grand prize winner will receive an eco-tour or fishing charter on the St. Johns River, guided by a local expert. Participants can also win a sticker, shirt, koozie and glass, based on the number of breweries they visited. Partnered breweries will donate a percentage of sales from a designated beer to support the challenge. Many locals are excited to join the challenge and have the community come together and support a local organization. St. Johns Riverkeeper will host a celebration after the campaign on August 3.

Congratulations to Tennessee Riverkeeper (Alabama and Tennessee, U.S.) for successfully removing more than 860 pounds of litter from the Cumberland River! During an organized cleanup event in West Nashville, volunteers gathered and removed 12 tires, 11 bags of trash, one bag of recyclables, and large debris from construction and demolition waste that had been dumped into the river. David Whiteside, the founder of Tennessee Riverkeeper, stated that "there is no easy solution to plastic pollution." He highlighted that one of the most effective ways to combat this issue is to remove garbage from shorelines and shallow water. Notably, Styrofoam was the most commonly found item in the litter collected from the river. Thanks to organized cleanups, Tennessee Riverkeeper has prevented over 4,580 pounds of litter from entering waterways.

Waterkeepers Bangladesh and Pashur River Waterkeeper (Bangladesh) held an event to honor Professor K.M. Rabbani with the “Sabuj Sathi Sammanona 2025” for his exceptional contributions to the conservation of coastal biodiversity and the environment. During the event, Professor K.M. Rabbani spoke about how a love for trees is part of our social upbringing, one that is inherited from our parents and grandparents. He also reminded everyone to consider the benefits of planting trees, such as providing food and shelter for birds and other wildlife. Sharif Jamil, the coordinator of Waterkeepers Bangladesh, emphasized the importance of recognizing individuals who set a positive example amid the ongoing environmental crisis, as this can inspire others to join the cause. He also remarked that the Rampal coal-based power plant must be shut down immediately, stating that failure to do so means a lack of genuine commitment by the government to protect the environment.
