The following experts participated in this press call to explain the report and what it means for our Bay and communities:
- CBF Maryland Executive Director Allison Colden;
- CBF Virginia Executive Director Chris Moore; and
- President Emeritus of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science Don Boesch.
