Clean Water

The rivers and streams of the Chesapeake Bay provide critical habitat to fish and wildlife and a vital resource to people. Because these tributaries act like pipelines from our communities to the Bay—picking up pollutants as they flow through farms, suburbs and cities—we must limit the amount of pollution we generate. We must also safeguard stream health and protect watersheds that are in good condition, as their benefits can be hard to rebuild once lost. By restoring degraded waterways and protecting pristine areas, we support clean water across the region.
