ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — The Chesapeake Bay is getting about $33.8 million in conservation grants.
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation announced the grants Friday to support the restoration and conservation of the bay watershed.
NFWF and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency representatives joined local leaders and community members at a park in Annapolis, Maryland, to announce the awards.
The 104 grants will leverage more than $30 million in matching contributions to generate a total conservation impact of more than $64 million.
The grants were awarded through the Innovative Nutrient and Sediment Reduction Grant Program and the Small Watershed Grants Programs. Those are core grant programs of the federal-state Chesapeake Bay Program partnership that are administered under NFWF’s Chesapeake Bay Stewardship Fund.
Here’s to a better tomorrow for the lifeblood of the globe’s third-largest estuary, right in our own backyard.
#45 or “trump’s” crusade against the environmental protection of the Chesapeake Bay. (see link below).
Ironically; the article received zero criticism from this forum. The predominant voice that speaks the loudest, yet is dependent on the health of this estuary.

Apologies for quoting WP. June ’72 Broke the Watergate Scandal. Regardless of political affiliations; one should forever be indebted to true honesty in journalism.
You can’t have your cake and eat it!
Why do you make an assumption that any of us would bother to read the Washington Post, a very biased pro-Joe propaganda sheet that runs interference for Joe Biden, and makes excuses for Joe Biden while covering up bad poop for him, as well, while printing his lies as though they were truth?
What a Liberal Rag!
