Resistance is
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore announced the state has successfully met or surpassed nearly all of its pollution reduction targets set under the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement. Based on the most recent information from the Chesapeake Bay Program's pollution model, Maryland achieved 100 percent of its sediment reduction goal. Additionally, the model said the state completed its phosphorus reduction goal and 99 percent of the nitrogen reduction goal from 2009 to 2025.
Excerpt:
“Preserving the Chesapeake Bay is crucial to the long-term success of our state’s economy, culture and identity,” said Moore. “The Bay’s rivers and streams support our local environment, seafood, tourism and recreational businesses, and our administration is committed to improving its water quality and protecting the Bay as a precious heirloom to pass down to future generations in a better condition than we received it.”
