I grew up learning about the chesapeake bay, and it hurts dearly to see the Chesapeake Bay in ruined. According to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, "The Bay is still a system dangerously out of balance. We continue to engage in education, advocacy, litigation, and restoration to turn the tide and leave a legacy of clean water for future generations.

One of CBF's top priorities is to defend and implement the Chesapeake Clean Water Blueprint. Much of this work is unfolding in Washington, D.C., where CBF and our allies worked hard to stop legislation and regulation that would have dramatically set back efforts to restore the Chesapeake Bay.Just as important, however, are the local communities struggling to implement their states' plans in innovative and cost-effective ways. Check out our latest legislative session efforts in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.Our collective voices—YOUR voices—are the most powerful tool there is to save the Bay and its rivers and streams. CBF has active advocates in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and we will save the Bay. Join us in our fight for clean water.CBF's advocacy efforts are designed to help and to hold the states and the federal government accountable for staying on the course of restoration." So please sign today, and help save the bay.
