A united community protects the Chesapeake’s rivers and streams.

Featured Member: Meet Blue Water Baltimore

Blue Water Baltimore is restoring the quality of Baltimore’s rivers, streams and harbor in order to foster a healthy environment, a strong economy, and thriving communities. Baltimore’s citizens have a long history of taking grass-roots action to care for the streams, river, and Harbor in Baltimore. In 2010, Blue Water Baltimore formed when five of these grass-roots organizations merged. Blue Water Baltimore has emerged as a strong advocate for watershed protection and is now one of the largest organizations working on water quality issues in the state of Maryland. The Baltimore Harbor and the four large watersheds that feed it face challenges that are all too common to urban environments: a surplus of polluted stormwater runoff, too much trash, frequent sewage spills, and point source pollution.
