Our latest Who Is Waterkeeper features Thomas Johansson, the Swedish Baltic Rivers Waterkeeper, who has spent decades protecting rivers and restoring ecosystems around the Baltic Sea. Although he continues to combat threats to the rivers from climate change and toxic pollutants like PFAS and DDT, thanks to his efforts, wild salmon are finally spawning again. When commercial fisheries also returned to the restored waters, he chose collaboration over conflict — launching a program to buy out fishing rights that is now being replicated across the Baltics.

In this month’s episode of “Equity In Every Drop," Puget Soundkeeper Sean Dixon discusses 6PPD, a highly toxic chemical compound found in tires, and the devastating downstream effects it has on marine ecosystems. Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts!

Waterkeeper Alliance condemns EPA’s dangerous decision to weaken limits on toxic “forever chemicals” in U.S. drinking water.

U.S. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin recently announced “agency actions” to address PFAS, or forever chemicals. While he claims to support the “polluter pays principle,” his actions—such as canceling PFAS research grants—fail to match his words. It’s time for Zeldin to listen to the communities suffering from PFAS pollution and protect people from industrial polluters. Will you join us in demanding Zeldin back up his words with real action?
