I hope that today's hearing is the first step in continuing that legacy of strong bipartisan support for the Chesapeake Bay in this Congress.
It's a national environmental treasure. It's a regional economic engine. It's been one of my top priorities since I've come to Congress.
Without the strong and continued investment the EPA has requested for the Chesapeake Bay Program in fiscal year 2024, the risk is we could jeopardize decades of work in collaboration towards the Bay's restoration.
The health of the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed can only continue to improve through robust Federal, state, and local partnerships.
