The nonprofit organization American Rivers has released its list of the 10 most endangered rivers in the United States for 2025. The Mississippi River has been named the most endangered river, with threats linked to proposed cuts to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which is crucial for federal flood management. The Tijuana River ranks as the second most endangered river, a designation resulting from extensive community efforts. Rivers in Southern Appalachia have also been identified among the nation’s most endangered waterways. Additionally, the Passaic River in New Jersey, which flows through densely populated areas, has been designated as endangered. These rivers face risks that threaten the ecosystems and communities depending on them.
