Maryland’s Solution to Nutrient Pollution in the Chesapeake Bay


Listen Later

Containing the largest estuary in the United States, the Chesapeake Bay watershed includes almost the entire state of Maryland. This important cultural, economic and natural resource was in decline due to an increase in nutrients entering the Bay. In an effort to restore water quality, Maryland’s Bay Restoration Fund (BRF) was established in 2004, creating a dedicated fund to upgrade wastewater treatment plants to meet nutrient reduction goals. Join host Jeff Berckes as he interviews four environmental professionals from Maryland who share their experience working with the BRF and the changes, challenges and successes of the program they’ve seen along the way.
