Target: Robert R. Scott, Commissioner of the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services
Goal: Implement stringent pollution control measures to protect the Merrimack River and its fragile ecosystem.
The Merrimack River, a vital natural resource in New Hampshire, faces an imminent threat – pollution. Rampant contamination from various sources, including industrial runoff, agricultural practices, and municipal discharges, poses a grave danger to the river’s water quality, aquatic life, and the health of communities reliant on its waters.
Over the years, unchecked pollution has led to alarming levels of harmful pollutants in the river, including excessive nutrients, bacteria, and chemicals. This pollution not only jeopardizes the health of the river itself but also impacts downstream water bodies and the well-being of countless species dependent on its waters.
The Merrimack River’s pollution problem is not isolated; it’s a growing crisis with far-reaching consequences. Failure to act decisively could result in irreversible harm to the river’s delicate ecosystem, disrupt local economies, and compromise the health and safety of those who depend on this invaluable resource.
Sign the petition below to demand the immediate implementation of comprehensive pollution control measures to protect the Merrimack River and preserve its ecological and economic significance for current and future generations.
