Pollution and other harmful activities degrade the Chesapeake
Bay. The Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) fights for strong
and effective laws and regulations. CBF also works
cooperatively with government, business, and citizens in
partnerships to protect and restore the Bay. When necessary,
CBF uses legal means to force compliance with existing laws.
Since being created in 1967, CBF has achieved significant
milestones to arrest the Bay system's decline and to begin to
restore its health. From the landmark EPA study of the
Chesapeake Bay in the 1970s to the first interstate
Chesapeake Bay Agreement in 1983, from Maryland's historic
sewage treatment bond bill in 2004 to Virginia’s comparable
legislative commitment in 2005, CBF has been saving the Bay.
The Chesapeake Bay watershed is 64,000 square miles and
has 11,600 miles of tidal shoreline, including tidal wetlands
and islands. The watershed encompasses parts of six states.
Approximately 17 million people live in the watershed; about 10
million people live along its shores or near them
