2017 ANNUAL REPORT 2017: Progress, Challenge, Opportunity PROGRESS Over the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s (CBF) past 50 years, the population of the Bay’s 64,000-square-mile watershed has risen from 11 million to 18 million. Despite the added pressures—more livestock, roadways, and rooftops—the Chesapeake Clean Water Blueprint is working. Implementation of thisfederal-state plan to restore the Chesapeake is bringing measurable signs of a healthy Bay. Water quality is improving. Underwater grasses are rebounding. And, many of the Bay’s iconic critters- like crabs and oysters—are healthier. CHALLENGE CBF’s50th anniversary year coincideswith the mid-point in the Chesapeake Clean Water Blueprint. It includes a re-assessment halfway through the 2010-2025 program for necessary course corrections. We can be proud of our progress, but the pressures we place on the Chesapeake ecosystem continue to build everyday. The Bay’s condition isfragile, and there is still much to do to restore its health. OPPORTUN ITY Together, we are poised to achieve something extraordinary in the coming years: restoration of the United States’ largest, most-productive estuary and all theriversand streamsthat feed it. It’s where we all live, work, and play. Let’s pass a healthier environment to future generations. What better legacy could we share than the rich culture of a healthy Chesapeake? ^ / Be proud of your part in the progress we have made this past year, our 50th. With your generous support, you-—our members, our donors, and our volunteers—have made these achievements possible. Now, look forward with us, to an even healthier Chesapeake. Looking Forward Successful ventures don’t just happen, especially when the problems are massive. We offer a sincere thank you to our members, staff, and trustees for your passion, your time and energy, and your significant financial resources invested in Saving the Bay. After 50 years of hard work, we are well on our way to a substantially cleaner Chesapeake Bay— we are on a path to success! In the 1960s, CBF’s founding trustees expressed concern for the decline in fish, waterfowl, and water quality to then Maryland Governor J. M illard Tawes. Governor Tawes responded with a civics lesson: for government to help solve problems, citizens must do their part. The Chesapeake, he suggested, needed a unified and engaged voice. The founders took that recommendation and built the Chesapeake Bay Foundation in 1967. Fifty yearson, wecontinueto bethat voice. Your love for the Bay and all itsstreams, creeks, and rivers inspires us. Look what we have accomplished. You asked for environmental protection and restoration. You asked for in-the-field, on-the-water environmental education. You asked for responsible litigation and direct restoration of habitat. And you asked that we help raise all of our voices together on behalf of Bay saving. Now many of you work with us as volunteers, establishing and advancing the Chesapeake Clean Water Blueprint with our partners in all levelsof government and the private sector. Our beloved Chesapeake Bay system is improving, even asthe human population has nearly doubled. As we look back over 2017, we hope you share our pride in our successes. But this is no time to rest! The work of saving the Bay is far from finished. While challenges like a draft federal budget that zeroes out funding for the federal Chesapeake Bay Program threaten continued progress, we are undeterred. The opportunity to fully restore these waterways is still very much alive. We firmly believe that the Bay’s voice called for by Governor Tawes—the Chesapeake Bay Foundation—remainsthe best hopefor ensuring that a healthy, sustainable American treasure will be passed to future generations. Stay with us. We’re making history! William C. Baker President and CEO HarryT.

Batten Foundation Elisabeth Reed Carter Pisces Foundation Northrop Grumman Corporation— Electronic Systems The Harley-Davidson Foundation The Hershey Company “Learning about the environment while in the field issomethingan individual cannot experience fully in a classroom.” CBFs Environmental Education Program operates on two basic principles: • Education is an essential long-term investment in the healthoftheCh esap eake, an d • The place to teach people about the Bay watershed is outside, on our rivers, streams, and Bay. That simple foundation has grown into the largest environmental education program of its kind in the United States. Each year, CBF provides hands-on learning experiences to over 30,000 students at 15 education centersthat stretch from Pennsylvania to the mouth of the Chesapeake in Virginia. These experiences are led by skilled, passionate field instructors aboard our fleet of canoes and Chesapeake-inspired workboatsand at our residential centerson islandsintheBay. —Hannah Heron Student Bay Advisory Council Member and 50 Forward Participant To those founding principles, education staff helped integrate our on-the-water field programs into the classroom and lab curricula of the schools we serve. For that reason, Chesapeake Classrooms is a major feature of our program today, providing accredited, five-day, in-the- field summer institutes to help educators incorporate environmental literacy intotheir classrooms. These courses, begun in 1977, havetrained more than 10,000 public and private school teachersfrom Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virgina, and the District of Columbia in disciplines ranging from science and social studies to creative writing. Recently, we’ve expanded our reach to school principalsso they can institute schoolwide sustainability programs and better support their teachers and students in active, outdoor learning. Over the years, the power of CBF’s Environmental Education Program has been confirmed by rigorous evaluations and celebrated with both regional and national awards. It has been aprime driver in the establishment of environmental literacy goalsfor publicschoolsin Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. Perhaps the best evidence of the Environmental Education Program’s impact came from veteran field instructor Tiffany Granberg, who once remarked, “I know it works. I can see it in their eyes.” Driving Environmental Literacy ADVOCATED strongly for the restoration of three-dimensional oyster reefs and sustainable oyster harvest management in Maryland and Virginia.

CHESAPEAKE BAY FOUNDATION 2017 ANNUAL REPORT Since the first Chesapeake Bay Agreement in 1983, EPA’s Chesapeake Bay Program has coordinated world- class estuarine science and restoration among research universities; nonprofits; businesses; and federal, state, and local government agencies. Restoration programs built on that science are bearing fruit. “Our elected leaders need to know that their constituents care about clean water in our communities.” Ironically, now that progress is clear, the Bay Program’s future is in jeopardy due to proposed cuts in federal funding.To counter thethreat,CBFhasjoined multiple partnersto engage our representatives in Congress. Fortunately, most of them understand how critical the Chesapeake’s health is to the region’s people and economy. CBF is a vital source of up-to-date information and actions. And,through CBF’scutting- edge digital advocacy program, our members help deliver that information to decision makers. —Claire Neubert CBF Volunteer, Hampton, Virginia Other engagement takes place in offices on Capitol Hill, through CBF-organized visitsto senatorsand representatives from local constituentswho are CBF supporters. We also meet with our legislators when they are at home in their districts. Our enormously effective decision-maker field experiences are based on the founding principle of CBF’s Environmental Education Program: The place to teach people about the Bay is on it. We invite legislators out on our workboats and canoes to analyze water quality, pull fishing nets, plant oysterson restoration reefs, and learn about important policiesthat support the Bay. This summer, senators and representatives of both partiesrolled uptheir sleeves and joined CBF staff, trustees, and volunteers on the Lafayette, Potomac, Patapsco,and Susquehanna Riversto learn along with us. Saving the Bay is a profound exercise in understanding this national treasure and crafting effective, cost-efficient ways to invest both public and private dollars in restoration.

T Standing Up for Your Health and Our Clean Water Too many Baltimore residents suffer damages to their health and property from air pollution, sewage backups, and water pollution. Because the city’scentury-old sewer pipes can’t handle heavy rains, sewage sometimes washes into homes, local streams, and the harbor. Baltimore has been subject toacourt order to rebuild the system since 2002 , but it badly missed its 2015 deadline and has recently agreed to anew pact with a2030 deadline. In response to pressure from CBF Attorneys Paul Smail and AlaynaChuney, anew wastewater agreement will require the city to address sewage backups into residents’ homes. Providing representation to citizens who often do not have a voice, attorneys Smail and Chuney will monitor the progressto ensurethat the terms of the new agreement are met. On the ground in Baltimore, Chuney has also joined Healthy Harbor Program Manager Carmera Thomas to ensure accountability and transparency for Baltimore’s citizensthrough a public stakeholder process. The city isbesieged with air pollution from local and outside sources of oxides of nitrogen (NO*), the precursor of lung-damaging ozone. NO x also pollutes our waterways when rain washes it from the air. The 31-year-old Baltimore Refuse Energy Systems Company (BRESCO) trash incinerator is a major contributor, lagging far behind similar plants in reducing NO x emissions. CBF Attorneys Ariel Solaski and AlaynaChuney took on BRESCO with modeled air flowsto estimate local and regional concent rat ions of NO x from BRESCO; investigated f easi bi lit y of a nit rogen-ext ract ion process for t he plant’s exhaust gases; and deter mi ned the human health impacts associated with BRESCO’semissions. Based on this research, CBF Maryland Executive Director Alison Prost submitted commentsto Maryland Department of the Environment (M DE), telling the agency to reduce BRESCO’s pollution and suggesting a potential solution. A recent draft regulation from MDE indicates that the agency has gotten the message. CBF will continue to monitor the progress and recommend legal action if necessary. “Thanks to CBF’s involvement, I’m excited that even with the recent hard rains, I haven’t had any backups since the city came to do their repairs.” — Pamela LuAllen Williams Baltimore Resident LITIGATE CBFISGRATEFUL FORTHEGEN EROUSSUPPORT OF: bove: CBF’sVirginia Staff Scientist Joe Wood and Virginia Grassroots Coordinator Blair Blanchette place protective tubes around recently planted saplings, which will help prevent polluted runoff from entering the local waterway.

Bauer Foundation Town Creek Foundation TheKahlert Foundation blue moon fund Twenty years ago, CBFsClagett Farm Manager Michael Heller began grazing livestock on the property’ssteep fields. The practice has spawned a prof it able operation raising grass-fed beef and lamb for local markets. It has also helped maintain healthy soilsthat absorb polluted runoff and protect the nearby Patuxent River. Most importantly, the grazing serves as a model for other farmers. Good pasture management lowers costs and improves animal health because pasture pi ants provide healthy food for cattle. It also provides major water-quality benefits. The plants used for grazing capture rainfall and build healthy soil. Grazing animals naturally distribute manure where soils can use it, reducing the amount of polluted runoff going into the nearest stream. “Grazing reduces costs while maintaining production and promoting cow longevity for better profit.” — Matt Bomgardner Lebanon County Farmer and member of the Pennsylvania Grazing Lands Coalition To attract morefarmersto grazing, Heller teamed up with CBF Restoration Scientist Rob Schnabel, University of Maryland Extension,the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS),and other farmers who have shifted from grain to grazing to form the Maryland Grazers’ Network. A key element isfarmer-to-farmer mentoring. The network provides outreach and technical assistance for current and new grazingfarmersthrough itsexpertsin pasture and forage composition, financial management, marketing, and funding. Now including 50 Maryland farms, the network also providestwo-day grazing schools and field days, an annual planning calendar, a regional conference, and a newsletter. Based on the Grazers’ Network success, CBF and our partners have received an NRCS grant to expand, allowing the Mountains-to-Bay Grazers’Alliance to encourage grazing operations in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. In its second year, the Alliance has already built a regional network of 250 grazers; added 1,400 acres in pasture farming; and conducted research on soil health, air and water quality, and economic benefits. More recently, CBF secured roughly $1 million dollarsthrough the NRCS Regional Conservation Partnership Program to provide technical and financial assistance for farmers in Maryland wanting to convert to grazing. With measurable benefits in farm profitability, environmental health, soil health, and sustainability, grazing’s time has come, and itsexpansion across the region will be good for us all.
