Chesapeake Bay Health Update Expected
Staff quoted: UMCES
An annual report card on the health of the Chesapeake Bay is due out today. Last year, the the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science gave the bay a D-plus for water quality. The report showed problems in every health indicator, including underwater grasses, fish and shellfish and bottom-dwellers such as clams and worms.

New way to gauge Sarasota waters' ongoing health
Staff quoted: Bill Dennison
SARASOTA COUNTY — Oyster production is up in many Sarasota bays, sea grasses are more abundant and scallop populations are on the rise — all indicators of improving water quality.

Workshop Gives Insight on Bay Restoration Projects
Staff quoted: UMCES
RUTHSBURG, Md. — From lasers to satellite technology, scientists are trying to figure out what makes the Choptank River tick and how to clean it up.

Editorial: Those Who Can't, Study - Yet more pondering is proposed to figure out how to clean up the Chesapeake Bay.
Staff quoted: UMCES
When the Chesapeake Bay Program started in 1983, the goal was to clean up that massive waterway by 2000. That deadline was blown. So the governors of the seven states on the 64,000-square-mile watershed and the federal government came up with a new deadline: 2010, which was pronounced almost impossible to reach late last year. Now, the Environmental Protection Agency, which oversees the restoration program, proposes to study how it can implement a plan based on pollution inputs into the bay. The deadline for completing the review: 2011. We'd put major money on this deadline being missed, too, were it not for the EPA being under court order to produce said plan.

Choptank advocates urge cleanup: Lawmakers asked to weigh oystering ban, less paving along river
Staff quoted: UMCES
ANNAPOLIS -- Environmentalists have asked lawmakers to move quickly to improve water quality in the Choptank River and to consider cleanup ideas such as a moratorium on oystering and discouraging paving along the river.

Groups urge Choptank cleanup: Lawmakers asked to halt paving, oystering
Staff quoted: UMCES
Environmentalists are urging the state to act quickly to clean up Maryland's Choptank River, which has become more polluted due to farm runoff and development as well as a major drop in the oyster population.

From Bowie to the final frontier: Adventurer Richard Arnold to launch with space shuttle Discovery
Staff quoted: Bill Dennison, Jeff Cornwell
CAMBRIDGE - A former graduate student at Horn Point Laboratory, Richard Arnold never gave up on his childhood dreams. In fact, his curiosity and ambition led him to a career as a NASA astronaut, and he has been assigned to fly aboard the Discovery space shuttle next fall.

Editorial: Dirty Water - Trouble on the way to a clean Chesapeake Bay and Patuxent and Potomac Rivers
Staff quoted: UMCES
The Metropolitan area's waterways are losing the fight against pollution. After years of improvement, the Potomac Conservancy slapped its namesake river with a D-plus grade. The Patuxent River earned the same grade last month from the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. The Chesapeake Bay was given a D by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, while a recent review of the Chesapeake Bay Program showed that it hasn't been nearly as successful in cleaning up pollution as it proclaims. The explosion of development deserves much of the blame.

A Patuxent salvation plan: River is slowly dying, advocacy group says, but its health can be restored
Staff quoted: Margaret Palmer
UPPER MARLBORO - The bad news is that the Patuxent River is in deep trouble, struggling against a tide of pollution and sediment that has turned this once-fertile river into a mucky brown mess.

Activists push for Chesapeake's future
Staff quoted: Bill Dennison
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Despite snow and ice, the governors of three states and the mayor of Washington posed for pictures recently outside a replica of a colonial-era shallop during an annual meeting about the degraded health of the Chesapeake Bay.
After getting the shot, the governors of Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania strode into the Maryland capitol to tell reporters that progress on Chesapeake Bay cleanup was slow going, and that the region would not meet the states' 2010 cleanup goals. Moreover, the leaders failed to agree to several pollution reductions that environmental groups had called for.
