>> Established in 1967, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation is the original Save

>> The Bay is in trouble, humans caused it, and only humans can save it.
>> Today CBF stands as a highly credible watchdog, educator, and catalyst for
>> the Bay's restoration. It is the pre-eminent conscience of the Bay,
>> speaking for the watershed's 15 million citizens and for those creatures
>> who have no public voice - the fish, shellfish, and other living resources
>> whose once legendary bounty inspired H. L. Mencken to dub the Chesapeake
>> an "immense protein factory." CBF can take credit for rallying the public
>> conscience to come to the aid of the Bay.
>>
>> CBF has a staff of 145 employees working across the watershed, from the
>> Annapolis headquarters and three state offices in Harrisburg, Annapolis
>> and Richmond, to the southern Bay office in Norfolk and the eastern shore
>> office in Laurel, Delaware. In addition, CBF operates 16 outdoor
>> environmental education training centers located in Pennsylvania,
>> Maryland, the District of Columbia, and Virginia. The organization has an
>> annual budget of over $10 million and an endowment of approximately $15
>> million. Support comes from 80,000 members, several hundred foundations,
>> over a thousand corporations, and tuition revenues from field trips.
