The Chesapeake Bay Foundation says Dorchester County and a law firm are spreading misinformation in an attempt to stop plans to clean the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

By Raquel Guillory, Director of Communications

In Maryland, we know that one of the keys to restoring the health of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries, lies in reducing the input of pollution from sources throughout each watershed.  That’s what we are working to do with Maryland’s Bay Watershed Implementation Plan (WIP).  Restoring the health of the Bay, and reducing the impacts of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions will take a coordinated effort, but I wanted to share this disturbing letter from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation on an effort underway that threatens to undermine our collective actions to restore the health of the Bay.

Please take a minute to read this letter from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and the accompanying fact sheet that sets the record straight.
