Annual report card: Chesapeake Bay is its healthiest since 2002
The Chesapeake Bay received its highest score, a "C-plus," since 2002 in an annual assessment of its environmental health, "an exciting sign that progress is being made in bay restoration," said University of Maryland scientists on Tuesday. Despite the progress, the bay will not meet the goals set more than a decade ago in the EPA's so-called pollution diet, said a conservation group.
