Agencies give conservation grants to boost Chesapeake Bay
Published: , in Outdoor News
Nearly $10 million in grants were awarded by two federal agencies for projects in Pennsylvania and surrounding states aimed at improving the Chesapeake Bay.
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued $9.6 million to 10 community-based projects to protect and restore the bay and its tributary rivers and streams. The money was derived from the Chesapeake Bay Stewardship Fund’s Innovative Nutrient and Sediment Reductions Program as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which will provide $238 million over five years for programs helping to restore the Chesapeake Bay.
