Maryland will be taking a new approach to reducing pollution in the waterways of the state, including the Chesapeake Bay.  Maryland will be the first state to use the latest scientific recommendations designed to improve and clean waterways and provide more places for people to safely swim, protect coastal areas from climate change and increase fish and crab populations. 

Moore signed a new executive order creating the Governor’s Council on the Chesapeake and Coastal Bays Watershed that will be charged with accelerating the restoration of state waterways, improve wildlife habitat and bolster shorelines.
