Is the water quality of the Bay getting better?
Generally, the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers are cleaner than they were 10 to 15 years ago. Pollution reduction efforts are having a positive effect in many portions of the Bay watershed. However, we still have a long way to go. It will take the actions of everyone who lives in the watershed—from restoration organizations like the Chesapeake Bay Program to everyday citizens like you and me—to fully “restore” the Bay.
