Today, @NatResources and @NRDems unanimously passed the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Advancement for Training, Education, Restoration, and Science (WATERS) Act out of committee! CBF applauds the committee for passing this bill and looks forward to seeing it pass the full House.
This critical piece of legislation reauthorizes the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office, which supports ecosystem restoration, fisheries management, and environmental education throughout the watershed. Thank you @BobbyScott for sponsoring this legislation and supporting bay restoration!
Thank you to all the cosponsors of the WATERS Act:
@RobWittman
@RepJenKiggans
@RepSarahElfreth
@EleanorNorton
@RepGlennIvey
@RepMcClellan
@RepAprilDelaney
Today in a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, @ChrisVanHollen expressed his concern over the proposed cuts to @Interior in the President’s FY27 budget request. DOI is a critical partner in restoring the Chesapeake Bay, including the work of @USFWS and @USGS
The President’s budget request proposed major cuts to USGS, including the elimination of the USGS Ecosystem Missions Area which provides the science necessary for Bay restoration and management of invasive species, such as the invasive blue catfish
CBF applauds @ChrisVanHollen for his continued leadership in ensuring federal partners get the funding they need to restore and protect the Chesapeake Bay!
Thank you @NFWFnews for testifying on the importance of Chesapeake WILD grants at yesterday’s @EPWGOP hearing & recognizing @sencapito’s steadfast support for funding these habitat restoration projects across the watershed. Watch below at 46min time stamp epw.senate.gov/public/index.…

We applaud @RepSarahElfreth for emphasizing the importance of strong partnership in the restoration effort during the WATERS Act hearing. NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office is one of those critical partners in efforts to restore the Bay and its waterways, fisheries, and wildlife habitats

A bit of good news: the MAWS Act @RobWittman and I led has officially passed the House! This bill is just one small piece of what my team and I are working on here in Washington, but it brings us one step closer to creating new opportunities in a growing market for invasive blue catfish – which pose a direct ecological and economic threat to the Chesapeake Bay – and mitigating invasive species across the country. As we navigate these difficult times, I’m grateful to have colleagues who are willing to work towards bipartisan, innovative solutions, like the MAWS Act, to protect our natural resources. Stay tuned as this bill heads to the Senate!
CBF fully supports the passage of this bipartisan bill to support NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office and the important work they do. Thank you Sen. @MarkWarner for your leadership on this important bill!
.@NOAA plays a critical role in our region, from restoring the Bay’s oyster population to providing quality environmental education to students, this legislation ensures NOAA can continue its vital role!
