Chesapeake Bay Rivers and Water Quality Grant

To achieve long-stated goals of cleaning local creeks and rivers and improving water quality for people and wildlife, this program will provide grants to:

• Implement water quality improvement projects and best practices to reduce pollution to local creeks and rivers in the Bay watershed in order to achieve pollution reduction targets in Bay agreements and improve human and wildlife health. Projects with matching funds will take priority.
• Improve regulatory enforcement, public education, and access to creeks and rivers in the Bay watershed through on-the-ground projects.
• Build public advocacy for clean rivers and water through civic engagement, journalism, and organizing.
