保护行动动态
祝贺美国阿拉巴马州的黑武士河护水者与美国佐治亚州的查塔胡奇河护水者,携手参与Phish乐队的水轮基金会(WaterWheel Foundation)即将于9月开启的巡回演出。自1997年成立以来,水轮基金会已筹集数百万美元,为500余家非营利组织提供了支持。该基金会最初设立的目的是管理乐队环保活动所产生的收益,后来逐渐发展为支持Phish乐队演出所在地社区的本地非营利组织。作为巡回演出的一部分,水轮基金会及其非营利合作方会举办日间志愿活动,以凝聚粉丝力量,回馈各地社区。
美国阿拉巴马州的卡哈巴河护水者宣布与卡哈巴河协会合并,成立卡哈巴河联盟——这一联合组织致力于保护和维护卡哈巴河及其流域。新联盟将借助科学手段、环保行动及社区参与,监测河流健康状况、向公众普及相关信息,并倡导可持续发展。在成立后的前六个月,新联盟将重点开展数据收集工作,记录水质问题、公共健康隐患及河流生态系统受损情况。
加拿大的渥太华河护水者近期发起了一项宣传活动,旨在向公众普及该地区入侵物种的相关知识。科学项目协调员伊丽莎白·格雷特(Elizabeth Grater)解释称,入侵物种会对其入侵的生态系统造成严重影响,通常会降低生物多样性,并威胁本地物种的生长与生存。该项目目前重点关注15种入侵物种,并鼓励公众参与其中。一款交互式地图可供用户查询所在地区存在的入侵物种、参与物种识别测试,并使用相关工具上报在社区内发现的入侵物种踪迹。
美国华盛顿州的双港护水者邀请华盛顿州鱼类和野生动物部以及部落政府的代表,在谢哈里斯河出现历史性低水位期间前往河边实地考察。考察过程中,各方探讨了各类水质问题及相关关切。双港护水者李·弗斯特(Lee First)带领由地方、州及部落官员组成的小型团队进行了长达三小时的河边考察,观察河流状况,并探讨近期干旱对流域及其野生动物造成的影响。团队发现,与正常水位相比,河流的面貌发生了巨大变化。谢哈里斯保留地联盟部落的杂草协调员索菲亚·谢尔曼(Sofia Sherman)提出了一个积极的视角,她表示,干旱天气为清除入侵植物提供了契机,因为此时这些植物仍处于脆弱状态。
美国俄勒冈州的威拉米特河护水者正在发起“187英里的奇迹”(187 Miles of Wonder)活动——这是一场为期10天的皮划艇旅行,将沿威拉米特河全程从尤金市划至波特兰市,旨在为河流庆生、守护河流并争取公众对河流保护的支持。沿途,他们将每日分享水上行程的最新动态、照片和故事,同时与社区及合作方建立联系,合作方包括图拉丁河护水者、俄勒冈州公园与娱乐部以及大罗恩德联盟部落。可在Facebook、Instagram和YouTube平台关注@WillametteRiverkeeper账号追踪活动动态,也可分享他们的活动页面助力宣传。
美国宾夕法尼亚州的约希奥根尼河护水者志愿者近期从约希奥根尼河中打捞出约200个轮胎,以防止化学物质渗入水中。约20名志愿者奋力从淤泥中挖出腐烂的轮胎,这些轮胎会泄漏铝、铜等污染物。其中一个主要担忧是化学物质6PPD,这种物质暴露在空气中会发生转化,对部分鱼类产生毒性。为助力清理工作,组织者将两艘皮划艇绑在一起以保持稳定,这样每次可运送15个轮胎。志愿者们致力于持续开展此类清理工作,以保护和修复约希奥根尼河。

NEWS FROM THE MOVEMENT
Congratulations to Black Warrior Riverkeeper (Alabama, U.S.) and Chattahoochee Riverkeeper (Georgia, U.S.) for partnering with Phish’s WaterWheel Foundation on the band’s upcoming September tour. Since its founding in 1997, the WaterWheel Foundation has raised millions of dollars and supported over 500 nonprofits. Originally created to manage proceeds from the band’s environmental efforts, the foundation evolved to support local nonprofits in the communities where Phish performs. As part of the tour, WaterWheel and its nonprofit partners host daytime volunteer events to engage fans and give back to each region.
Cahaba Riverkeeper (Alabama, U.S.) has announced its merger with the Cahaba River Society to form the Cahaba River Coalition, a unified organization dedicated to preserving and protecting the Cahaba River and its watershed. The new coalition will utilize science, conservation, and community engagement to monitor river health, share information with the public, and encourage sustainable development. In its first six months, the new coalition will focus on data collection to document water quality issues, public health threats, and damage to the river’s ecosystem.
Ottawa Riverkeeper (Canada) has recently launched a campaign to educate the public about invasive species in the area. Elizabeth Grater, the science program coordinator, explains that invasive species can have serious impacts on the ecosystems they enter, often reducing biodiversity and threatening the growth and survival of native species. The program is currently focused on 15 invasive species, and the public is encouraged to get involved. An interactive map allows users to explore which species are present in their area, take identification quizzes, and access tools to report sightings of invasive species in their communities.
Twin Harbors Waterkeeper (Washington, U.S.) invited representatives from the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife and tribal governments to walk across the Chehalis River during historic low-flow conditions. During this walk, various water quality issues and concerns were addressed. Lee First, Twin Harbors Waterkeeper, led a three-hour river walk with a small group of local, state, and tribal officials to observe the river and discuss the impacts of the recent drought on the basin and its wildlife. The group noticed how different the river looks compared to its normal levels. Sofia Sherman, the weeds coordinator for the Confederated Tribe of the Chehalis Reservation, offered a small silver lining, stating that the dry weather presents an opportunity to remove invasive plant species while they are still vulnerable.
Willamette Riverkeeper (Oregon, U.S.) is launching 187 Miles of Wonder, a 10-day canoe journey down the full length of the Willamette River from Eugene to Portland to celebrate, protect, and raise support for the river. Along the way, they will share daily updates, photos, and stories from the water while connecting with communities and partners including Tualatin Riverkeepers, Oregon Parks and Recreation, and the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. Follow along on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube at @WillametteRiverkeeper, and help spread the word by sharing their campaign page.
Youghiogheny Riverkeeper (Pennsylvania, U.S.) volunteers recently pulled around 200 tires from the Youghiogheny River to prevent chemical leaching into the water. Approximately 20 volunteers worked to dig out rotting tires from the mud, which can leak contaminants such as aluminum and copper. A major concern is 6PPD, a chemical that transforms when exposed to air and becomes toxic to some fish. To aid in the cleanup, organizers used two canoes tied together for stability, allowing them to transport 15 tires in a single trip. The volunteers are committed to continuing these cleanups to preserve and restore the Youghiogheny River.
