We would like to thank Rep. Sarbanes for introducing this important piece of bipartisan legislation

The health of the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed can only continue to improve through robust Federal, state, and local partnerships.

This bill takes important steps to support the ongoing restoration of the Chesapeake Bay by reauthorizing NOAA's Chesapeake Bay Office and authorizing the agency's long-running Bay Watershed Education and Training, or B-WET Grant program.
