Maryland Hits Bay Cleanup Milestones | Dover News

Maryland just smashed its environmental goals for the Chesapeake Bay, hitting 100% of sediment and phosphorus reduction targets—and nearly 100% on nitrogen—over a 16-year stretch. Governor Wes Moore celebrated the win as a triumph for the state’s economy, culture, and future generations, highlighting how clean water fuels everything from seafood to tourism. The state even went above and beyond, removing 242 million pounds of sediment and nearly a million pounds of phosphorus, while restoring oyster beds and protecting land. Now, Maryland is setting even bolder targets for 2030 and beyond, proving this isn’t a one-time victory—it’s a decade-long commitment to healing the Bay.
