The Issues Facing Maryland

Agriculture
What role do farms and agricultural production play in the health of our waters?

Chemical Contamination
Toxic chemicals are entering our waters everyday. What can we do about them? 

The Cost of Clean Water
Does it cost more to save the Bay and its rivers or more to let them die?

Fisheries
Menhaden, striped bass, shad, blue crabs, and oysters are critical to the health of our waters.

Land Use
When the watershed's land suffers from pollution and poor management so, too, does our water.

Sewage & Septic Systems
Upgrading wastewater treatment is key to cleaning up the Bay.

Storwater Runoff
Increased development has made stormwater runoff thye fastest growing source of Bay pollution.
