Multiple FacilitiesSince 1990, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) has been committed to protecting and restoring the remarkable Eastern Shore waterways for us and future generations. Yet unhealthy development patterns and too much pollution from farms, stormwater, and sewage continue to threaten this special place. Right now is the most important moment in the history of CBF's Save the Bay effort, and the Eastern Shore is a critical place where these efforts to restore the health of our waterways must succeed.

To save the Bay, forests need to flourish throughout the watershed.

Drilling offshore poses unjustifiable risks to the Bay, its living resources, tourism economy, and the many jobs that depend on clean water.
They've been called "the most important fish in the sea."
Polluted runoff is one of the most harmful sources of pollution to the Bay and its waters.
When the watershed's land suffers from pollution and poor management, so too does the water.
Cities and towns near the Chesapeake Bay are facing a major threat from sea level rise. The good news is that nature-based solutions can help us adapt to recurrent flooding.
What role do farms and agricultural production play in the health of our waters?
Clean, clear, healthy water allows sunshine to reach underwater grass beds, like this bed of widgeon grass.
