- The Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) is the largest conservation organization
dedicated solely to saving the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Our motto, Save the
Bay, defines the organization's mission and commitment to reducing pollution,
improving fisheries, and protecting and restoring natural resources such as
wetlands, forests, and underwater grasses. CBF headquarters is in Annapolis,
MD, and has state offices in Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania. CBF also
operates 15 environmental education programs.
The CBF is a catalyst for bold and creative solutions to Bay problems. Staff
members set the agenda, serve as watchdogs, and speak out on behalf of the
Chesapeake Bay to business, government, and the public. CBF's environmental
education program introduces people to the wonders of the watershed and works
to heighten sensitivity, increase knowledge, and empower citizens to take
positive action toward the Bay's protection and restoration both in the
classroom and in the field.
