Vanessa Vargas-Nguyen and I had such a great summer with our wonderful Global Sustainability Scholars (GSS) and had a nice goodbye dinner in Annapolis overlooking the Chesapeake Bay during their last week in Maryland.

On a sunny Thursday in July, over 40 community members throughout the greater Frederick County in Maryland participated in the very first Potomac Watershed Open House.
After attending the planning meeting for a community-engagement open house at Hood College, we set out on an adventure throughout the Upper Potomac. Traveling along the river, we visited several idyllic locations that play significant roles in the watershed’s ecosystem and function.
The COAST Card team spent the day learning about various locations in the Potomac River Watershed to provide a historical context for the environmental assessment of the region.
This past Wednesday, on June 15th, we had the opportunity to take our first step in utilizing the COAST (Coastal Ocean Assessment for Sustainability and Transformation) Card framework on the Potomac watershed at Hood College in Frederick County.
