Survey Shows Watershed Groups Halt
Substantial Local and Bay Pollution Sources
Substantial Local and Bay Pollution Sources
Following is a summary of the latest article posted on the CEDS news service at: cedsnews.comAn amazing 82% of watershed groups have engaged in at least one activity to halt pollution affecting their waterway and the Bay. More than half the time they succeeded in reducing pollution inputs.These are two of the principle findings from a survey conducted by Community and Environmental Defense Services (CEDS) to determine the extent to which nonprofit watershed advocacy groups are seeking to identify and correct the leading causes of pollution within the Chesapeake Bay basin. We also wanted to know of factors that impede the efforts of these groups.While a few groups are accomplishing a lot, many others are not. One reason is a lack of training materials and opportunities. A number of free guidance documents are available at the CEDS Watershed Audit webpage. Training will be offered on Tuesday, November 19th, in the Annapolis area.
