Love this piece in Chesapeake Bay Journal calling for the reviving of the Chesapeake Bay Federal Leadership Committee to help guide the next phase of the Chesapeake Bay restoration effort. bayjournal.com/opinion/forum/…

Thanks for your support for clean water and the Chesapeake Bay, Rep. Rep. Rob Wittman!

Thank you Rep. John Sarbanes for your leadership to protect and restore clean water!

LOVE this perspective by our Virginia lead, Virginia Conservation Network's Pat Calvert! "We cannot simply extend deadlines for existing goals and refuse to renew goals for benchmarks already met. Virginia’s leaders must be challenged to set an undaunted and renewed vision for restoration."

"We're all hoping to see leadership from the states and federal agencies saying that they're committed to continuing to move the Bay restoration effort forward." -Coalition Director Kristin

"The time is nearing to step up and protect our most fundamental, irreplaceable asset: clean water. Virginia should boldly recommit to the collaborative, multi-state effort and vision of a renewed Chesapeake Bay Agreement." - Pat Calvert, Virginia Conservation Network richmond.com/opinion/james-…

Love our PA Coalition lead, Michael Mehrazar, highlighting the need to help farmers install more conservation practices on their land. 👏👏👏

As the Bay restoration effort faces a critical juncture, MuddyBranchAlliance has a fantastic take on the opportunity to build on past progress and create a new vision for clean water in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. 👏👏👏

We're grateful Congress, with strong bipartisan support, rejected a harmful amendment last night that would have crippled the Chesapeake Bay restoration effort. Our statement >> choosecleanwater.org/news/2024/7/25…

We're thrilled to share Coalition Director Kristin's perspective in the The Baltimore Sun on the need to recommit to the Bay restoration effort and refresh its goals and outcomes for healthy waterways, thriving communities, and flourishing habitats. baltimoresun.com/2024/08/20/kee…

With polluted runoff the fasting growing source of pollution in the Bay watershed, we're happy to see U.S. EPA is taking a close look at stormwater permits, but we aren't celebrating just yet >> bayjournal.com/news/epa-may-i…
