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.
