Nationwide river advocacy organization American Rivers, announces the 2009 America’s 10 most endangered list.
From the American Rivers website:
Each year since 1986, American Rivers and dozens of partners in the river movement have released the America’s Most Endangered Rivers™ report to spotlight those rivers across the country facing critical and near-term threats. The report is not a list of the nation’s “worst” or most polluted rivers, but rather it highlights ten rivers confronted by decisions in the coming year that could determine their future.
The Rivers spotlighted this year are:
- Sacramento-San Joaquin River System (CA)
- Flint River(GA)
- Lower Snake River (ID, OR, WA)
- Mattawoman Creek (MD)
- North Fork of the Flathead River (MT)
- Saluda River (SC)
- Laurel Hill Creek (PA)
- Beaver Creek (AK)
- Pascagoula River (MS)
- Lower St. Croix National Scenic Riverway (MN, WI)
