United as one powerful force, Waterkeeper Alliance fights for everyone's right to drinkable, fishable, swimmable water.
关于我们
The Waterkeeper movement was started by a band of blue-collar fishermen on New York’s Hudson River in 1966. Their tough, grassroots brand of environmental activism sparked the river’s miraculous recovery and inspired others to launch local Waterkeeper groups around the world. Today, Waterkeeper Alliance unites more than 300 Waterkeeper Organizations and Affiliates that are on the frontlines of the global water crisis, patrolling and protecting more than 2.5 million square miles of rivers, lakes and coastal waterways on six continents. Waterkeeper Organizations and Affiliates defend the fundamental human right to drinkable, fishable, and swimmable waters from the Great Lakes to the Himalayas, and combine firsthand knowledge of their waterways with an unwavering commitment to the rights of their communities. Whether they’re on the water tracking down polluters, in courtrooms enforcing environmental laws, advocating in town meetings or teaching in classrooms, the Waterkeeper movement speaks for the waters it defends with the backing of local communities. Waterkeeper Alliance ensures that the world’s Waterkeeper Organizations and Affiliates are as connected to each other as they are to their local waters, organizing the fight for clean water into a coordinated global movement.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about an emerging toxic contaminant in our waterways: 6PPD/6PPD-q. Join Chelsea McDonald, Clean Water Defense Campaign Manager at Waterkeeper Alliance, and Seth Brown of the National Municipal Stormwater Alliance, as they sit down with Dominique Lueckenhoff of Hugo Neu for this timely discussion. They’ll explore the challenges posed by 6PPD-Q and related chemicals in regulatory and legal contexts, as well as the urgent need for alternative solutions.?Register today for this important seminar on December 3!
It is estimated that 1/3 of all microplastics are comprised of tire and roadway wear. These particles contain toxins and pollutants that are harmful to both human and aquatic biota health with a chemical known as 6PPDq being a particularly impactful chemical for sensitive species of fish - and possibly beyond. The Stevens Institute of Technology Seminar Series will be hosting a webinar from 5-6pm (Eastern) on Tuesday, December 3. Specifically, this webinar will cover the science behind 6PPD, its role in preventing tire degradation, and the environmental hazards posed by 6PPDq. Participants will learn about the sources of 6PPDq contamination, how it is transported into U.S. waterbodies through stormwater runoff, and the widespread geographical impact it has on rivers, lakes, and ecosystems, particularly in urban areas. The session will highlight the challenges posed by 6PPDq and related chemicals in regulatory and legal contexts, as well as the urgent need for alternative solutions.
