The 2008 Severn River Report Card Release. The report card summarizes 2008 water quality results, which are based on data collected by the Severn Riverkeeper Program. This report card helps to clarify the Severn's health, and provides instructions on what individuals can do to improve its condition. The release of this report card was attended by local, state, and federal representatives, Severn River Keepers, and IAN staff.
