🌊 The Bay, Explained is here!

Water quality standards might sound like a topic reserved for scientist and policy folks, but they have a huge impact on the Chesapeake Bay and the health of the waters we all depend on.

In our new series, attorney Jackie Gooddrum breaks down complex topics and makes them easier to understand. First up: water quality standards + the Chesapeake Bay. 🦀

What exactly are water quality standards? What criteria does the Bay have to meet? And what's the surprising fact Jackie uncovered along the way? 👀

Consider this your sneak peek. There's more to the story.

Read the full Q&A with Jackie and Bay Journal to dive deeper.

A single oyster can filter gallons of water each day, helping improve water quality while providing habitat for fish, crabs, and other wildlife. This Oyster Day, we're celebrating these small but mighty ecosystem engineers and the ongoing efforts to restore oyster populations throughout the Bay.
