Study demonstrates importance of sediment diversions for building land in the Mississippi River Delta
|
27.3.2013 |
Main Feed - Environmental Defense |
| By Alisha A. Renfro, Ph.D., Staff Scientist, National Wildlife Federation
Last week, an independent scientific panel comprised of prominent scientists from throughout the U.S. released a report, “ Mississippi River Freshwater Diversions in Southern Louisiana: Effects of Wetland Vegetation, Soils, and Elevation ,” which examines some of the ecological effects of freshwater river diversions. The panel concluded that there is little evidence suggesting that the existing freshwater diversions in Louisiana have appreciably reversed the rate of land loss in the region, and that to reverse the land loss trend, significant inputs of sediment are needed. While most of the existing diversions in Louisiana are were built to move fresh water only, many of the diversions included in Louisiana’s 2012 Coastal Master Plan focus on sediment capture and conveyance into coastal wetlands .
Freshwater diversions affect basins by reducing salinities. Extensive dredging of canals throughout the Mississippi River ... |

People of the Sekaman River Prioritize River Restoration and Reparation
|
12.3.2013 |
International Rivers Sitewide RSS Feed |
| By:
Tania Lee
Over the past few weeks, I have been visiting communities in southern Laos along the Sekaman River. This river flows southwards from the mountainous Dakcheung region near the border of Vietnam to the Sekong River, a major tributary of the Mekong River that crosses into Cambodia. Ethnic minority communities along the Sekaman have depended upon the forests, rugged hillsides, and free-flowing river for generations. Despite the fact that the people of this area are typically seen by the government as ‘backwards’ and in need of integration into the state’s plans for large-scale export-oriented development, their adaptation to the landscape and their vibrant cross-border trading network belies this claim. Villagers say they are strongly rooted on the land of their ancestors and continue to practice subsistence farming and fishing. However, the central basis for their livelihood security is rapidly being undermined by a vast hydropower scheme spanning along both the Sekaman and ... |

Bill would use Legacy funds for 15 metro wildlife and conservation projects
|
5.3.2013 |
MinnPost |
| A bill introduced in the Legislature would direct $6.4 million in Legacy Amendment funds to 15 metro area wildlife and conservation projects.
Two freshmen, state Reps. Mike Freiberg (DFL-Golden Valley) and Anna Wills (R-Apple Valley) introduced the bill Monday, and say they have 33 bi-partisan co-sponsors from all seven metro counties.
They say their bill, HF 1119 , won't take funding away from other state-wide wildlife, habitat and conservation projects, because there is $10 million left unspent in the Outdoor Heritage account for next year.
Said Freiberg in a statement:
These 15 projects will help protect, restore and enhance publicly owned land in the metropolitan area for habitat. These lands are our most precious assets. They have been set aside permanently for wildlife – and, to a limited degree, humans. Nature is in our soul and we must protect it.
Wills said:
These Legacy dollars have been set aside by the voters. The funds will be spent. It is only right that the needs ... |
