IRS 990 Nonprofit Profile

Chesapeake Bay Foundation INC

We define a saved bay as having a score of 70 (out of 100) on cbf's state of the bay health index. thanks largely to a dramatic reduction in the amount of pollution entering the system, at 70 the chesapeake bay and its tributary rivers will be highly productive and in good health as measured by established water-quality standards. the result will be clear water, free of the impacts from toxic contaminants, and healthy oxygen levels, able to support living resources in all parts of the bay. founded in 1966, cbf is the largest regional conservation organization dedicated solely to saving a national treasure-the chesapeake bay and its rivers and streams. with headquarters in annapolis, md; state offices in md, va, and pa; and educational centers and programs across the region; cbf works throughout the 64,000-square-mile chesapeake watershed to: educate - build an informed citizenry; advocate - advance pollution reduction; litigate - encourage enforcement of environmental law; and restore - rebuild the bay system's natural filters such as oysters, underwater grasses, and streamside forests. cbf is supported by more than 200,000 members and e-subscribers.
