Each year American Rivers publishes a list of 10 rivers that hold great opportunity for river quality improvements. This year, in addition to covering the full list with Amy Kober of American Rivers, we talk with local experts to include the ocean surfers at the Tijuana River estuary in California, the river lovers at the Duck River in Tennessee, and the high desert river people overseeing the entire state of New Mexico. We hear about the unique rivers and the work happening to care for these places.SPONSORSROCKY TALKIE5 Watt Radio, WaterproofDiscount Code 10% off:  RIVERRADIUS10InstagramFacebookYoutubeAED ONE STOP SHOP discount landing page GUESTSAmerican Rivers2024 Most Endangered Rivers ReportInstagramFacebookTijuana RiverUn Mar de ColoresInstagramFacebookRamon Chairez (no socials) Rivers of New MexicoAmigos BravosInstagramFacebookRachel Conn@rlconn Duck RiverHarpeth ConservancyInstagramFacebookGrace Stranch@birdhandgracePREVIOUS RIVER RADIUS EPISODES ON AMERICAN RIVERS 10 MOST ENDANGERED LIST10 Rivers for 202310 Rivers for 2022   THE RIVER RADIUSWebsiteInstagramFacebookApple PodcastSpotifyLink Tree

Due to the threat of titanium mining, the biologically rich and unique Okefenokee Swamp habitat at the GA/FL border has unfortunately been named one of America's Most Endangered Rivers of 2023 (by the organization America Rivers). But there's a wide alliance of bipartisan wilderness and water protectors at https://protectokefenokee.org/ defending this National Wildlife Refuge, including The Georgia River Network. Their Executive Director, ecologist Rena Ann Peck talks to host Carrie Freeman in this 25-minute podcast about why and how so many groups are protecting this delicate and one-of-a-kind ecosystem from damaging mining efforts on the trail ridge (bordering the swamp ecosystem). It's a sacred space to the Muskogee Creek Nation and home to hundreds of plants and unique animals, such as alligators, salamanders, birds, and fish, some endangered. Rena also explains what is being done in the GA Legislature to try to establish permanent protection against future mining (HB 71 Okefenokee Protection Act) and actions to urge the Georgia EPD (Env Protection Division) and Governor Kemp not to issue a mining permit to Twin Pine Minerals company. With overwhelming bipartisan support in favor of park protection, we hope that government listens and acts. Interested citizens can text 52886 with the word SWAMP and it takes you to action items. You can also see the action items and many gorgeous videos at this GA River Network site https://garivers.org/protectokefenokee/  In Tune to Nature is a long-time weekly show airing on Wednesdays from 6:30-7pm EST on Atlanta indie station WRFG (Radio Free Georgia) 89.3FM hosted by Carrie Freeman or Melody Paris. Please consider donating to support this 50-year old independent, non-commercial, progressive Atlanta radio station at https://wrfg.org/   Remember to take care of yourself and others, including other species, like the thousands who live in rivers and wetlands.

America’s Most Endangered Rivers® of 2020 spotlights why our communities need clean water and healthy rivers now, more than ever. This year’s list highlights how climate change is threatening communities with increasingly severe flooding. Across the country communities are experiencing unprecedented challenges related to too much water at the wrong time. In the Midwest, we have a recipe for disaster, where poor river management is colliding with the reality of climate change. Right now, communities are stretched dangerously thin by the covid-19 pandemic, and the virus is exposing the vulnerabilities and dangers that come with relying on outdated flood control approaches. It’s time for our leaders to embrace proven solutions that protect river health, improve public safety and strengthen communities. Join us today on We Are Rivers to learn about America’s #1 Most Endangered River for 2020 and the solutions that can help move our rivers and our nation forward.

The DrakeCast - A Fly Fishing Podcast

The DrakeCast is a flyfishing podcast put together by the folks behind The Drake magazine. Many thanks to our friends at Yellow Dog Flyfishing Advenutres and Scott Fly Rods for their continued support. This week, we go into the story behind a killer smallmouth fishery in the northern Midwest. But this great fishing might not be around for that much longer. Disagreements between competing interests have put the The Menominee River, which creates part of the border between Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Penninsula, on American River's Most Endangered Rivers list. The proposed Back 40 Mine would sit just 150 feet away from the Menominee River and many people think that's too close for comfort. We chat with jovial locals, intense environmentalists, native stakeholders, and the mining company about the future of this area and the fishery downstream. For more information and photos from our time in the Upper Peninsula, check out our website: http://www.drakemag.com/drakecast/1809-the-drakecast-flyfishing-podcast-7.html

  In this week’s podcast, we were fortunate to have Bob Irvin, president and CEO of American Rivers, in town for a visit.  Bob and I got to chat about their “10 Most Endangered Rivers” list for this year, and he goes into detail on the ones most important to fly anglers.  If you care about moving water, this is a must-listen.  Also, in the Fly Box this week, questions range from whether switch lines spook fish, whether to go back to the head of a pool after catching a big rainbow there, whether it is ethical to remove streamside brush in small streams, how to pick the right glass rod, and how to tell if your local river holds big fish.
