Thank you to everyone who joined us at one of our five State of the Rivers—we wrapped up the series last week and were overjoyed to see so many of you turn out in support of ShoreRivers and our shared waterways. With your help, we'll make our vision of healthy rivers a reality!

A swimmable, fishable, thriving Chesapeake Bay is more possible when local stakeholders, advocates, and experts have a seat at the table.

ShoreRivers was glad to have the opportunity to sit down with Lieutenant Governor @arunamiller and her team recently to talk about our goals for the new administration and our work for healthy waterways on the Eastern Shore. 📷: courtesy of the Executive Office of the Governor
