保護行動動態

祝賀美國阿拉巴馬州的黑武士河護水者與美國佐治亞州的查塔胡奇河護水者，攜手參與Phish樂隊的水輪基金會（WaterWheel Foundation）即將于9月開啟的巡回演出。自1997年成立以來，水輪基金會已籌集數百萬美元，為500余家非營利組織提供了支持。該基金會最初設立的目的是管理樂隊環保活動所產生的收益，后來逐漸發展為支持Phish樂隊演出所在地社區的本地非營利組織。作為巡回演出的一部分，水輪基金會及其非營利合作方會舉辦日間志愿活動，以凝聚粉絲力量，回饋各地社區。

美國阿拉巴馬州的卡哈巴河護水者宣布與卡哈巴河協會合并，成立卡哈巴河聯盟——這一聯合組織致力于保護和維護卡哈巴河及其流域。新聯盟將借助科學手段、環保行動及社區參與，監測河流健康狀況、向公眾普及相關信息，并倡導可持續發展。在成立后的前六個月，新聯盟將重點開展數據收集工作，記錄水質問題、公共健康隱患及河流生態系統受損情況。

加拿大的渥太華河護水者近期發起了一項宣傳活動，旨在向公眾普及該地區入侵物種的相關知識。科學項目協調員伊麗莎白·格雷特（Elizabeth Grater）解釋稱，入侵物種會對其入侵的生態系統造成嚴重影響，通常會降低生物多樣性，并威脅本地物種的生長與生存。該項目目前重點關注15種入侵物種，并鼓勵公眾參與其中。一款交互式地圖可供用戶查詢所在地區存在的入侵物種、參與物種識別測試，并使用相關工具上報在社區內發現的入侵物種蹤跡。

美國華盛頓州的雙港護水者邀請華盛頓州魚類和野生動物部以及部落政府的代表，在謝哈里斯河出現歷史性低水位期間前往河邊實地考察。考察過程中，各方探討了各類水質問題及相關關切。雙港護水者李·弗斯特（Lee First）帶領由地方、州及部落官員組成的小型團隊進行了長達三小時的河邊考察，觀察河流狀況，并探討近期干旱對流域及其野生動物造成的影響。團隊發現，與正常水位相比，河流的面貌發生了巨大變化。謝哈里斯保留地聯盟部落的雜草協調員索菲亞·謝爾曼（Sofia Sherman）提出了一個積極的視角，她表示，干旱天氣為清除入侵植物提供了契機，因為此時這些植物仍處于脆弱狀態。

美國俄勒岡州的威拉米特河護水者正在發起“187英里的奇跡”（187 Miles of Wonder）活動——這是一場為期10天的皮劃艇旅行，將沿威拉米特河全程從尤金市劃至波特蘭市，旨在為河流慶生、守護河流并爭取公眾對河流保護的支持。沿途，他們將每日分享水上行程的最新動態、照片和故事，同時與社區及合作方建立聯系，合作方包括圖拉丁河護水者、俄勒岡州公園與娛樂部以及大羅恩德聯盟部落。可在Facebook、Instagram和YouTube平臺關注@WillametteRiverkeeper賬號追蹤活動動態，也可分享他們的活動頁面助力宣傳。

美國賓夕法尼亞州的約希奧根尼河護水者志愿者近期從約希奧根尼河中打撈出約200個輪胎，以防止化學物質滲入水中。約20名志愿者奮力從淤泥中挖出腐爛的輪胎，這些輪胎會泄漏鋁、銅等污染物。其中一個主要擔憂是化學物質6PPD，這種物質暴露在空氣中會發生轉化，對部分魚類產生毒性。為助力清理工作，組織者將兩艘皮劃艇綁在一起以保持穩定，這樣每次可運送15個輪胎。志愿者們致力于持續開展此類清理工作，以保護和修復約希奧根尼河。

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.
