CBF is heartbroken to announce the news of Doug Myers’ passing. Doug was a beloved colleague and friend. He served as the Foundation’s Maryland Senior Scientist for nearly 12 years where he fiercely advocated for Bay health and environmental justice. His kindness and love of the outdoors was infectious, and his legacy of environmental stewardship will have a lasting impact for many generations to come. We are incredibly grateful for Doug’s dedication to the Bay, and we will miss him deeply.

– Allison Colden, CBF Maryland Executive Director
