La protection des eaux européennes menacée au nom de la « simplification »

La Commission européenne veut réviser la directive de protection des eaux, une des pierres angulaires de la politique environnementale, pour faciliter l’ouverture de mines. L’industrie extractive jubile. Les ONG et les services de traitement des eaux fulminent.

In December 2025, the @EU_Commission announced plans to revise the #WFD, the EU’s cornerstone law for water protection.
We urge the Commission not to reopen the Directive, as it would likely weaken it and diminish progress already achieved.

Now, it has achieved a good ecological status, sensu #WFD, for most of the ecosystem components, such as #phytoplankton, #benthos or #fish….
This has happened in many other European countries, thanks to the #WFD

After decades of degradation and #pollution (mining, industry, discharges), #management measures have dramatically changed the quality of the estuary.
This was because of the European Water Framework Directive #WFD, approved in 2000

After stopping by at the SCCARC #wfd location, I drove to #US3574 Sunset Beach, a new park for me.
The location was a recommendation from one of the SCCARC members and a good location. However, initially I set up too far down the hill and used a new, untested mic for the FX-4CR. Apparently I put mic into overdrive and also competing with field day stations for space on the band made the activation rather slow and strenuous. Not to mention that W6/ in front of my call often leads to confusion.
