Thank you @SarahForMD for joining our panel yesterday to discuss cheaper, faster, more effective ways to clean the Chesapeake Bay and waterways around the country!

[Sarah Elfreth @SarahForMD]

MD has led in this new way of thinking and policy making.

I was thrilled to share at yesterday’s Environmental Restoration Business Association Policy Conference the progress we’ve made via the Clean Water Commerce Act, the Conservation Finance Act, and the Whole Watershed Act.

These blooms are typically caused by excess nitrogen and phosphorus running off of broad landscapes.

As waters warm, finding new solutions to prevent these nonpoint sources from reaching waterways becomes even more urgent.

[U.S. EPA @EPA]

Has a lake near you suddenly turned green or blue? It’s probably cyanobacteria— sometimes referred to as blue-green algae. These blooms can be toxic to people and animals.
