🌊💙 Big progress for the Chesapeake Bay!

Maryland has met or surpassed nearly all of its 2025 Chesapeake Bay pollution reduction targets—including 100% of its sediment and phosphorus reduction goals and 99% of its nitrogen goal.

From cleaner waterways to oyster restoration, land conservation, and expanded public access, years of work across the state are making an impact on the Bay we all know and love. 🦀🌿 Maryland is now building on that progress as restoration efforts look ahead to 2040.
