Our Mission

The mission of the Clean Chesapeake Coalition is to advocate, raise awareness and act to improve the poor water quality of the Chesapeake Bay in the most effective and fiscally responsible manner possible. 

Our coalition seeks to re-establish Maryland’s waters and its oyster, crab, fishing, and seafood packaging industries that were once so vital to our local economies. 

We believe in restoring the Bay to its once great role as a beacon of recreation for residents and our tourism industries.

Since its inception in 2012, Coalition counties have fought to bring attention to the largest single point source of pollution to Bay waters, the reservoir behind the Conowingo Dam in the lower Susquehanna River.

What We Do

The Clean Chesapeake Coalition seeks to challenge the wasteful spending on the many government mandates that rely on ineffective programs and/or facilities. The Coalition believes that there exists a dearth of factual, technological, and scientific foundation, which clearly demonstrates that many present expenditures are being made irresponsibly from our public funds.

We believe that this careless and ineffective approach only results in taxpayer dissent and seriously impacts our effort to restore the Bay and its tributaries to its former beauty in the most effective and fiscally responsible manner possible. To see more of what we do, visit: Legislative Action
