The
Sustainability Studies Minor is proud to present Preserving Maryland’s
Waters, the first panel discussion in the minor’s annual Sustainable
Speakers Series. Marylanders are stewards to three major waterways
in the region and the country: the Anacostia River, the Potomac River,
and the Chesapeake Bay. These waterways support a vibrant ecosystem,
various economic activities, and a deep regional culture. Today, these
three bodies of water face diverse challenges, and our decisions on how
to manage them will have long-term effects on the sustainability of the
entire region. Join us to discuss the major challenges to
Maryland’s iconic waters as we discuss sustainability issues with
experts from three of the region’s top environmental groups, each
dedicated to preserving the rivers and the bay that we cherish. Panelists:
Lee Epstein, Chesapeake Bay Foundation
Matt Logan, Potomac Riverkeeper
Dan Smith, Anacostia Watershed Society
Co-sponsored by the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and the School of Public Policy.
